On the Determinants of Fiscal Decentralization: Evidence From the EU

On the Determinants of Fiscal Decentralization: Evidence From the EU

We empirically analyze the determinants of the fiscal decentralization in the European Union. Our approach consists on a quantile regression for the period 2005-2017. The results show the differences in the impact of explanatory variables on the fiscal decentralization by quantiles. Specifically,...
