Management Research and Practice, 2017, vol. 9, issue 2, 47-66

Abstract: The paper aims to complement recent studies that review the empirical relationship between fiscal decentralization and growth and provide an in-depth analysis of the independent and control variables used in the regressions. It analyses 26 both classic and very recent papers that have tested the relationship either cross-country or within a single country. The paper finds more than 30 independent variables that proxy fiscal decentralization and more than 60 control variables that have a certain impact on economic growth. As it also does a brief review of the models and the data used, the paper concludes by providing couple of recommendations on how future studies on this topic should be framed.
