Fiscal Federalism and Political Decentralization: Lessons from Spain, Germany and Canada (Studies in Fiscal Federalism and State-Local Finance)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This highly original book analyzes political decentralization and fiscal federalism in Canada and Germany, both traditional federal countries, and in Spain, a unitarian country engaged in the last two decades in a process of decentralization. The three key issues required for a well designed financing system are analyzed in depth herein, namely: tax assignment, equalization grants (i.e. redistribution of money from the wealthy regions or the national government to poorer regions) and the role of regional government in the administration of taxes. Fiscal Federalism and Political Decentralization will be of particular interest to academics and researchers of economics, public economics, public finance and public choice. It will also appeal to politicians and policy makers as well as organizations and agencies related to the economy and fiscal federalism. [detailed...]

Fiscal Federalism in Latin America: From Entitlements to Markets

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Fiscal and political decentralization have transformed several Latin American countries over the past two decades, but the transformation has hardly been smooth. At times, unbridled expansion of unconditional transfers has led to macroeconomic instability and principal-agent problems have made public sector management cumbersome. Most worrisome, despite a consensus that decentralization can strengthen public sector performance, social development and democracy, its results have not matched expectations. Fiscal Federalism in Latin America: From Entitlements to Markets examines decentralization policies that work as well as those that do not. The aim is to help Latin American policymakers meet the challenge of decentralization to improve publicsector performance at all levels of government by appropriately assigning jurisdiction over public goods, services, tax authority and user charges. The book offers `building blocks` towards decentralization, including new theoretical… [detailed...]

Fiscal Federalism in Unitary States (ZEI Studies in European Economics and Law)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDecentralism of political power to regions and local government occurs worldwide in response to demands from the periphery. Such devolution of power raises a number of problems - political, financial, and legal. By gathering together important papers from a series of workshops sponsored by the SNS Constitutional Project and the Center for European Integration Studies, this volume presents a number of these problems from a truly interdisciplinary perspective. The authors believe that fiscal federalism, while originating in formally federal states, is relevant also to the analysis of state-local relationships in unitary states with some degree of regional or local authority. Among the topics they cover are the division of responsibilities and powers of taxation, bailouts, systems of equalization, and state grants, as well as problems related to democracy and citizens` rights. While the book`s primary focus is Nordic, its international perspective is enhanced by… [detailed...]

Fiscal Health for Local Governments

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This examination of the fiscal health of local governments offers a `how-to` approach to identifying and solving financial problems. It will serve as a primer for readers interested in understanding financial processes and alternatives, and as a practical guide for those who need access to fiscal measurement tools. Its principal selling point lies in its assumptions: instead of using the vocabulary and research agendas of economists (such as Musgrave, Fisher), finance scholars (Ladd/Yinger) and political scientists (Peterson/Strachota), it will appeal to readers who lack sophisticated knowledge in these areas and nevertheless need practical advice. The book stems from the `Fiscal Health Education Program,` an applied economics program at the University of Minnesota. It uses three measures of fiscal health—financial condition, trend analysis, and financial trend monitoring system—as the basis for advocating particular fiscal strategies. The book examines the tools… [detailed...]

Fiscal Institutions and Fiscal Performance (Conference Report (National Bureau of Economic Research).)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The unprecedented rise and persistence of large-scale budget deficits in many developed and developing nations during the past three decades has caused great concern. The widespread presence of such deficits has proved difficult to explain. Their emergence in otherwise diverse nations defies particularistic explanations aimed at internal economic developments within a specific country. Fiscal Institutions and Fiscal Performance shifts emphasis away from narrow economic factors to morebroadly defined political and institutional factors that affect government policy and national debt. This collection brings together new theoretical models, empirical evidence, and a series of in-depth case studies to analyze the effect of political institutions, fiscal regulations, and policy decisions on accumulating deficits. It provides a fascinating overview of the political and economic issues involved and highlights the role of budgetary institutions in the formation of budget… [detailed...]

Fiscal Policy, Public Debt and the Term Structure of Interest Rates (Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems, 476)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The book discusses the dynamic interactions between fiscal policy and financial markets in a setting of stochastic growth and general equilibrium. In so doing, two important strands of literature are integrated: macroeconomic dynamics and mathematical finance. This enables to develop the dynamics of important financial market variables completely within the model thus freeing the analyst from arbitrarily assuming them. Moreover, it becomes possible to analyze the influence of fiscal policy on interest rate dynamics explicitly. The effect of the interest rate dynamics on the evolution of growth and the feedback effects between public debt and interest rate dynamics are also examined in a detailed way. [detailed...]

Fiscal Policy: Lessons from Economic Research

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Policymakers are often hard-pressed to understand what economists have to say on policy issues, and scholars and students need to know what the latest research findings are and what questions remain unanswered. Fiscal Policy: Lessons from Economic Research presents the work of leading contributors to the public finance literature. The papers were originally presented at a 1996 conference sponsored by the Robert D. Burch Center for Tax Policy and Public Finance at the University of California, Berkeley. Although the papers are broad in scope, they are not intended to be neutral, comprehensive surveys of the literature. Instead, authors were encouraged to focus on the issues they thought most important or interesting. The conference confirmed that on some questions there is a broad consensus, and on others there is strong disagreement. Because perspectives differ, after each paper two discussants offer their own views on the subject. More so than in many conference… [detailed...]

Fiscal and Generational Imbalances: New Budget Measures for New Budget Priorities

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Many appreciate that the federal government`s finances are shaky. However, few realize how really bad they are because most evaluations are based on what happened in the past--not what is likely to happen in the future. Although we are accustomed to hearing that today`s federal debt held by the public amounts to $3.5 trillion, the important--but often overlooked--question concerns how much debt we will incur going forward. As we approach a time when entitlement outlays will dominate federal spending, Jagadeesh Gokhale and Kent Smetters recommend shifting to a new, forward-looking method of analyzing our fiscal position. Combining outstanding debt with future revenue shortfalls, they calculate the United States` `Fiscal Imbalance`--the amount of money that the federal government must have in hand today to sustain current tax and spending policies indefinitely--at a heart-stopping $44.2 trillion, considerably outstripping debt currently held by the public. Although policymakers… [detailed...]

Fiscal and Monetary Policies and Problems in Developing Countries (Modern Cambridge Economics (Paperback))

Publisher: —
Description: This book is concerned with the use of fiscal and monetary policies to overcome three major obstacles to development commonly faced by less developed countries: inadequate investment, misallocation of investment resources, and internal and external imbalances i.e. inflation and balance of payments deficits. The book is divided into six chapters the first two of which are devoted to the definition of concepts and to an explanation of the Keynesian model of income determination and of Kalecki`s model of financing investment, within the framework of which the role of fiscal and monetary measures and of foreign capital is later examined. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss the role of fiscal measures and of foreign capital, respectively, in promoting domestic investment. Chapter 5 examines the use of both fiscal and monetary instruments, including industrial and agricultural development banks, to influence the pattern of investment. The last chapter is devoted to the problems of internal and… [detailed...]

Fischli and Weiss: The Way Things Go

2007 y.
Publisher: Afterall Books
Description: The Way Things Go (Der Lauf der Dinge) is a thirty-minute film by Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss featuring a series of chain reactions involving ordinary objects. It is also one of the truly amazing works of art produced in the late twentieth century. Admired, even loved, by members of the public as much as it is praised by the more specialist audience of artists, critics, and curators, The Way Things Go was perhaps the most popular work shown at Documenta 8, Kassel, in 1987. The work embodies many of the qualities that make Fischli and Weiss`s work among the most captivating in the world today: slapstick humor and profound insight, a forensic attention to detail, a sense of illusion and transformation, and the dynamic exchange between states of order and chaos. In discussing what makes The Way Things Go utterly compelling to its viewers—whether they have seen it one time or many times—Jeremy Millar leaves no doubt as to why this film was chosen for the One Work… [detailed...]
