Abstract: In this paper we re-examine the effects of globalization on fiscal decentralization of OECD by using the overall KOF index of globalization and its main subcomponents - economic, political and social integration. Using different indicators of fiscal decentralization, we find a positive impact of the overall index of globalization on both revenue and expenditure decentralization side, although not robust across different panel data specifications. Focusing on the links between decentralization and different aspects of globalization, we find that both economic and social integration foster fiscal decentralization, whereas political integration checks growth of it.
