Using a panel of 24 OECD countries, we study the link between the autonomy of sub-national governments and the quality of governance of a country. The results show that fiscal autonomy worsens citizens’ perceptions of governance quality. In particular, the delegation of policy responsibilities to the regional level produces a robust negative effect on quality.

Using a panel of 24 OECD countries, we study the link between the autonomy of sub-national governments and the quality of governance of a country. The results show that fiscal autonomy worsens citizens’ perceptions of governance quality. In particular, the delegation of policy responsibilities to the regional level produces a robust negative effect on quality.File in questo prodotto:
