Fiscal decentralisation and IDC economic growth: An empirical investigation
研究了1974至1991年间23个欠发达国家的财政分权水平与经济增长率之间的关系，未发现两者存在强系统性关联。
The impact of fiscal decentralisation on LDC economic growth and development is widely debated in the development literature. Notwithstanding this, there has been little attempt to test systematically this relationship. Accordingly, in this note we present an empirical examination of the relationship between the level of fiscal decentralisation and economic growth rates across a sample of twenty-three LDCsfrom 1974 to 1991. We fail to find, however, any strong, systematic relationship between the two among our sample of LDCs.
