Le fédéralisme financier, perspectives de microéconomie spatiale

Revue Économique, 1996, vol. 47, issue 2, 311-363

Abstract: [fre] La théorie économique du fédéralisme fiscal repose pour l'essentiel sur les concepts et les résultats fondamentaux de l'analyse micro-économique publique locale dont l'article fournit une synthèse de la littérature récente. Au fédéralisme fonctionnel de Musgrave-Oates a succédé progressivement une analyse centrée sur les comportements stratégiques des acteurs. Pour être pleinement pertinente, celle-ci doit ajouter aux développements normatifs une théorie positive de l'écono­mie politique des finances intergouvernementales. [eng] The economic theory of fiscal federalism is based upon the concepts and the basic results of the microeconomics of urban public finance. The paper provides a review of the relevant literature. It emphasizes on the move from « fonctional federalism » à la Oates Musgrave to a framework based on the strategic behavior and interactions of governments of different levels. A more comprehensive theory is netherless needed which must include, besides normative results, a positive theory of intergovernmental fiscal relations.
