Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Economic Policy, grade: A, University of South Florida (PG Business School), course: Msc Healthcare and Public Administration, language: English, abstract: This text gives an insight into public economy. It explains intergovernmental grants, their objectives, history and impact on economy. According to Musgrave (1939), the public economy is comprised of three functions; stabilization, distribution and allocation. Accordingly, the government should be able to stabilize prices, avoiding excessive inflation and has to ensure full employment. Secondly, the government should see that the resources are allocated efficiently and finally the governments should also ensure socially accepted wealth levels and market access are maintained, if not maintained the wealth has to be redistributed. Apparently by doing this governments can and have to stabilize employment levels, prices, and economic growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We evaluate the impact of political forces in the allocation of intergovernmental grants in Portugal, as it matured from a young to an established democracy. Using a large and unexplored dataset we show that political variables condition the granting system, and that their importance changed over time. While tactical manipulation in the distribution of grants among municipalities seems to exist only in the early years of democracy, opportunistic effects are stronger in the latter years. We argue that the latter effect is due to a change in the political environment and to the electorate's lack of information on intergovernmental grants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We use a large and unexplored dataset covering all mainland Portuguese municipalities from 1979 to 2002 to evaluate the impact of political forces in the allocation of grants from the central government to local authorities. Empirical results clearly show that, besides variables that proxy local populations' needs and the macroeconomic situation of the country, political variables condition the granting system: (1) grants increase in municipal and legislative election years; (2) the larger the number of years a mayor has been in office, the larger the amount of funds transferred to his/her municipality. These effects are particularly strong for grants that are not formula-determined.

The intricate nature of the subject, innately, does not allow for an all-inclusive survey, but we aim to provide a thorough examination and update of the most salient effects of intergovernmental grants, while indicating areas for further research.

Download or read book Political Economy of Multi Level Government Financing in Hungary written by Judit Kalman and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing literature on the political economy of public finance, however most of it deals with central government behaviour. Observation of the first and second generation of the fiscal federalism literature together with the political economy of intergovernmental grants and the widening literature on political budget cycles makes it obvious that although decentralization is a continuing policy trend in reality there are institutional, political factors that can increase the chances for inefficient policy outcomes. Infrastructure investment finances - at all levels of government - are especially prone to election cycles and corruption, due to high visibility, high expenditures, lobbying by special interests, possible control by politicians, yet they strongly effect long run growth prospects and productivity of a country. As a major political influencing factor affecting public finance decisions can come through the incentives of election cycles, this analysis finds evidence of electoral cycle effects and partisan (political color) considerations in intergovernmental grant distribution and in municipal investment activities - for the case of Hungary.

Download or read book The Political Economy of Inter regional Fiscal Flows written by Nuria Bosch and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Struggles over what a region receives, or should receive, from the budget of the central government are common to many countries. Discussions often focus on the measures of net fiscal flows or fiscal balances provided by the government or other actors. This unique book shows just how these flows are computed then interpreted and clarifies the often misunderstood economic and political motives that explain why some regions receive more monies than others. The Political Economy of Inter-Regional Fiscal Flows provides an overview of the main methods currently being used to measure fiscal flows , highlighting the advantages of the different approaches and interpreting their results. The book reviews the political economy literature that analyses the determinants of inter-regional fiscal flows . Particular attention is devoted to the relationship between fiscal flows and country stability, with methodological contributions and country studies both focusing on this issue. The contributing economists and political scientists provide a state-of-the-art study that will prove to be of great use to academics and practitioners in public sector economics and finance.

Download or read book Unfolding the Flypaper written by International Monetary Fund and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1989-07-25 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Empirical studies of the effects of intergovernmental grants to localities do not support standard microeconomic predictions. Block grants have surprisingly large positive effects on public expenditures. Researchers have attributed this “flypaper effect” to imperfect information (fiscal illusion), bureaucratic self-interest (Leviathan motives), and flawed econometrics. In this paper, a three-sector, computable general equilibrium model of a local economy is used to explore the effects of block grants and matching grants. The paper demonstrates that without fiscal illusion or unresponsive bureaucrats, these grants can have large spending consequences. Fiscal adjustments, mobility, and capitalization effects explain the leveraged impact of intergovernmental grants.
