| Tiivistelmä: | It is questioned if fiscal decentralization (hereafter as: fsc-decn.) leads to more efficient governance, better public goods, and higher economic growth. This paper tests Riker's theory that the results of fsc-decn. depend on the level of countries' political centralization. Analyzed are cross-section and panel data from up to 75 developing and transition countries over 25 years. Two of Riker's predictions are confirmed by the data: 1. Strength of national political parties significantly improves outcomes of fsc-decn. and 2. In contrast, administrative subordination does not improve the results of fsc-decn. |
