Abstract: In this paper the Argentine experience in the field of local governments is presented. In the first place, the paper studies the evolution and current situation of the vertical structure of the public sector, the relationships and tensions among the levels of government, and the description of the system of local governments. Some topics of local government economic applied to the argentinian case are then investigated: the relationship between the size of the group and the local expenditures; the imitation effect among municipalities; the effect on the municipal expenditures of the provincial expenditures in the municipality; the determinants of employment, wages and public expenditures in the municipalities; the relationships among size, fiscal correspondence and fiscal decentralization; the distribution of the provincial fiscal residue among municipalities and, finally, the ballot box as a mechanism of control of local governments.
