Abstract: This article analyses the degree of inter-territorial redistribution that occurs in Spain through the Autonomous Regions’ financial model and through the flow of current and capital transfers that the regional governments receive outside that model. The results indicate a high degree of redistribution that occurs through the systems of allocation of transfers to the various regional governments. In the case of the common-regime autonomous regions, the elasticity of total resources received by the regional governments with respect to their own fiscal capacity (GDP per capita) is 0.010. This means that the resources available to them are almost unrelated to their own fiscal capacity.
