And to detect the occurrence of fiscal illusions on capital expenditure financing.

This study takes the entire population as the subject of research (census study).

The result of classical assumption test shows that normal distributed data, no multicolinearity problem, no autocorrelation, and free data from heterokedastisity problem. The results show that local revenue, special allocation funds and profit-sharing funds have a positive effect on capital expenditure. While for variable of general allocation fund have negative effect to capital expenditure. There has been a fiscal illusion on capital expenditure financing since there is a variable of general allocation receipt which has a negative correlation with the spending of local government capital expenditures.
