Abstract

This thesis investigates economic aspects of the measurement of fiscal decentralisation to establish how a nation’s fiscal arrangements can be consistently measured, so they can be compared internationally. A new index of fiscal decentralisation is developed that reflects two key elements of the theory of fiscal decentralisation: the fiscal autonomy of subnational governments; and their fiscal importance. The role of fiscal inequality in subnational governments’ public finances is also considered.
