| Tiivistelmä: | In the presentation, the question of the appropriate level of decentralisation of power in government as a problem in the allocation of control rights under incomplete contracts is approached. The model used compares allocations of power to local, central and regional government as alternative means of motivating governments to act in the interests of citizens. Centralisation allows benefits from policy coordination but has costs in terms of diminished accountability. The model is extended to allow for conflicts of interest within regions etc. It is also applied to determining levels of fiscal transfer btw. localities, and to circumstances where governments may act as Leviathans appropriating resources to their own use. |
