Abstract: Abstract Central governments in many countries including Canada, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, India, the UK and Australia use fiscal equalization models when distributing grants to sub-national governments. The models used vary somewhat in their precise structure but also share general features. Some, for example the Australian model, estimate the revenue and expenditure needs of sub-national governments in generating the distribution of grant funds while others, such as that used in Canada, estimated only the revenue needs of regions.
