    The impact of fiscal decentralization on economics performance in high-income OECD nations: an institutional approach
    in Public Choice , Volume 149, Numbers 1-2 ,  2011 ,  31-48
    This paper examines the impact of public sector decentralization on per capita income. Controlling for differences in institutional arrangements among countries, panel data regressions on a sample of observations from 20 high-income OECD nations spanning the years 1972 to 2005 indicate that decentralization is positively related to income. The empirical analysis shows that institutions consistent with economic freedom enhance the positive income effects of decentralization. Thus, the impact of public sector decentralization is dependent upon a nation’s institutional environment
