摘要

我们记录了拉丁美洲地方政府(SNG)之间存在的财政差距，并展示了现有政府间转移支付系统在减少财政差距方面的局限性。对于2000- 2012年间该地区的11个国家，我们发现，尽管转移支付减少了本国收入的差距，但天然气生产国之间剩余的财政差距仍然相当大。我们还表明，财政转移支付的分配没有考虑财政能力和支出需求的明确衡量标准，从而阻碍了其均衡化潜力。我们的研究结果表明，引入均等化转移支付有助于更有效地解决地方财政差距，从而改善区域公平。

Subnational Fiscal Disparities and Intergovermental Transfers in LAC

We document the presence of fiscal disparities among subnational governments (SNG) in Latin America and show the limitations of existing intergovernmental transfer systems to reduce them. For 11 countries in the region during 2000-12, we find that, although transfers reduce disparities in own revenues, the remaining fiscal disparities among SNG are still considerable. We also show that fiscal transfers are distributed without consideration of fiscal capacity and explicit measures of expenditure needs, hampering their equalization potential. Our findings suggest that the introduction of equalization transfers can contribute to tackle more effectively the subnational fiscal disparities and hence improve regional equity.

In addition to regular submissions, the journal welcomes submissions of: -Survey Reviews, containing surveys of the literature regarding issues of interest in the Public Economics field; -Policy oriented reviews, showing the current contributions of Public Economics in relation to relevant contemporary issues affecting public decision-makers in the real world (Policy Watch); -Comments of previously published articles. Contributions to this section should be limited to a maximum of 2 000 words (12 pages). If deemed adequate, the authors of the commented article will be given the opportunity to react in a Reply. Both Comment and Reply will be published together. Articles for the Survey Reviews and Policy Watch section are subject to the same double blind reviwing procedure. The adequacy of Comments submitted for publication will be evaluated by the Executive Editors.
