Ecological fiscal transfers and state-level budgetary spending in India: analyzing the flypaper effects

by Amandeep Kaur (National Institute of Public Finance and Policy), Ranjan Kumar Mohanty (Xavier Institute of Management, Bhubaneswar), Lekha Chakraborty (Levy Institute and National Institute of Public Finance and Policy), Divy Rangan (National Institute of Public Finance and Policy)

Using panel data models, we analyze the flypaper effects-whether intergovernmental fiscal transfers or states' own income determine expenditure commitments - on ecological fiscal spending in India. The econometric results show that the unconditional fiscal transfers, rather than the states' own income, determine ecological expenditure in the forestry sector at subnational levels in India. The results hold when the models are controlled for ecological outcomes and demographic variables.
