The thinking about what is important to achieve in development objectives is changing as fiscal decentralization reforms are being pursued by many countries around the world. In this context, a number of studies have attempted to quantify the impact of decentralization by relating some measure of it to economic outcomes of fiscal stability, economic growth, and public sector size. But decentralization is surprisingly difficult to measure. Nearly all cases examining the relationship between decentralization and macroeconomic performance have relied on the Government Finance Statistics (GFS) of the International Monetary Fund. However, despite its merits, GFS falls short in providing a full picture of fiscal decentralization. For some countries, however, there is data that more accurately captures fiscal responsibilities among different types of governments.", "ref_country": [ { "name": "", "code": "" } ], "spatial_coverage": "", "languages": [ { "name": "english", "code": "en" } ], "volume": "1", "number": "WPS2809", "url": "http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/309771468764353136/pdf/multi0page.pdf", "contacts": [ { "name": "Documents and Reports Help Desk", "affiliation": "World Bank", "email": "documents@worldbank.org", "uri": "https://documents.worldbank.org/en/publication/documents-reports/faqs" } ], "usage_terms": "See World Bank Access to Information (https://www.worldbank.org/en/access-to-information)", "disclaimer": "The Policy Research Working Paper Series disseminates the findings of work in progress to encourage the exchange of ideas about development issues.
