V Workshop on Fiscal Federalism
V WORKSHOP ON FISCAL FEDERALISM: The political economy of decentralization. Decentralization of the delivery of public services has been an important part of public sector reform in many countries. The arguments typically used by governments, international agencies and donors have been mostly of economic and technical nature. The political economy approach can complement this diagnosis and advice work by predicting the effect of decentralization reforms in real political and institutional settings, highlighting the practical pitfalls of particular reform designs implemented, and helping understand the motives that drive politicians to transfer responsibilities and resources to lower levels of government. Manuscripts must be submitted by email (ieb.workshop@ub.edu) in PDF format until 2013 April 2nd. SPEAKERS: Frederico Finan (University of California – Berkeley), Gerard Padró-i-Miquel (London School of Economics), Eckhard Janeba (University of Mannheim). More information HERE.
