Abstract: This paper provides a simple analytical framework to explain the emergence of asymmetric decentralization as a possible institutional solution in multi-level governance. In particular, we conclude that, under certain circumstances, asymmetric decentralization, by granting some regions stronger fiscal autonomy and preserving at the same time interregional equalization, may provide a Pareto-improving solution regarding both centralization and secession.
