Partisanship of state level politicians affect the impact of federal fiscal policy in the U.S. Using data from close gubernatorial elections, we find partisan differences in the marginal propensity to spend federal transfers since the early 1980's: Republican governors spend less. A New...

Addressing the tax asymmetries of public entities in the Mexican territory, opens several possibilities of studies, which includes the magnitude and incidence of imbalances of the functions that empower the tax authorities in the country. Currently, this problem is observed in the face of the...

In economic unions the fiscal authority consists not of one, but many governments. We analyze whether partisanship of state-level politicians affects federal policies, such as fiscal stimulus in the U.S. Using data from close elections, we find partisan differences in the marginal...

Regional movements are emerging in Europe, often to promote historical, cultural or economic regions. Are we going to have a new regional Europe with 60 regions instead of 27 nation-states?

In this paper we investigate the interplay between national rainy-day funds and supra-national transfers in a fiscal union. Given that the EU has established rules limiting deficits, national rainy-day funds could in theory provide a way for countries to obey the rules and use fiscal policy, yet...

This article analyses the interstate dispute settlement mechanisms between member states of the German Confederation (Deutscher Bund). The question as to how disputes between German sovereigns should be decided already had a long (pre-)history dating back to the Middle Ages. Article 11 IV of the...

This book analyses ancient Greek federalism by focusing on one of the most organised and advanced Greek federal states, the Achaean Federation Sympoliteia. Unlike earlier studies that mainly focused on its political history, this book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, analysing aspects of...

Labor mobility is commonly taken as a property of an optimal currency area. But how does that property affect the outcome of fiscal policies? In our model, we show that perfect (costless) labour mobility is not necessarily welfare improving, since it prevents the national fiscal authorities from...

The growing complexity of the Future Internet landscape has driven the need for large-scale federations of experimental testbeds that support the next generation of research and experimentation. However, such facilities are typically difficult to sustain in the long term, particularly in the...

Labor mobility is commonly taken as a property of an optimal currency area. But how does that property affect the outcome of fiscal policies? We address this issue with a two country ?two period model, where both asymmetric and symmetric productivity shocks may hit the countries. We show that...

Canada has long been characterized by significant regional disparities. Such inequalities can create and exacerbate regional tensions and lead to demands for further redistribution of wealth. The objective of this study is to report on the current state of provincial differences in twenty-five...

The core of the approach chosen to divide powers and jurisdictions between bodies of power is the quality of state governance on the scale of the Federative State as a whole and its composing systems. Evaluation of the worked out criteria, ways, principles and mechanisms of the division of...

The most civilized of nations operate state police because of its attendant benefits. Moreover, a true federal setup should imbibe the idea of a state police. Nigeria as a country is part of the globe and cannot sheer away from the responsibility of decentralizing its police force. The article...

We study the efficiency of centralized fiscal spending by supranational unions, where participation is voluntary. In this setting, a country's outside option during budget negotiations is to withdraw its contribution to the centralized budget and consume its full income. This implies a crucial...

We study fiscal spending by supranational unions, where participation is voluntary and countries bargain over contributions to and the allocation of a central budget. We explore the link between the allocation and nations ́contributions that occurs since bargaining power is endogenous, and...

European integration, begun more than 60 years ago, has always faced, with each legal measure adopted in this respect, the resistance of the European peoples that have always been afraid to lose their sovereignty. Camouflaged in an attractive packaging for Europeans, political integration has...

The paper provides an equilibrium analysis of how countries compete for migrants. The type of competition (tax or transfer competition) depends on whether the competing countries have similar policy preferences. With symmetric preferences, countries compete in taxes for migrants. With asymmetric...
