| Tiivistelmä: | This article uses for the full sample of Swiss cantons over the 1981-2001 period and provides empirical evidence that government accountability is crucial for fiscal disipline. It shows that specifically in cantons with high levels of government accountability, the level of indebtedness is significantly lower and that indicates that accountability supports fiscal discipline. Finally, electoral support of govenment proposals reveals an important aspect of accountability in real world setting. |
