Intergovernmental Transfers: The Funding Rule and Mechanisms

Paul Spahn

Chapter Chapter 7 in Fiscal Equalization, 2007, pp 163-204 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract No federal or decentralized system of government can function without intergovernmental transfers. Once responsibilities are assigned to the different public agencies both vertically and horizontally, a typical outcome is vertical and horizontal fiscal imbalances. It means that the assignment of revenue does not fully match the expenditure functions for each public agency. It requires interagency transfers to allow all jurisdictions to carry out their respective public responsibilities.
