In this paper, we estimate the efficiency of Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana, and … investigate the impact of fiscal decentralization on the efficiency of local public goods and services delivery by MMDAs. Using … MMDAs' internally generated funds as a share of their total revenue has a positive influence on the efficiency of MMDAs …

redistribution is proposed. This trade-off between efficiency and distribution is well established. For the case of decentralized …

income potential of the municipalities and the efficiency (relative) of their activity. The basis for such a hypothesis were … the area of fiscal transfers. A nonparametric method for the evaluation of relative efficiency - the DEA CCR-O was used in … the research. Then the correlation between efficiency scores and local government revenues per capita was measured. The …

This paper discusses how taxation may affect migration, economic efficiency and income distribution. The institutional …

literature is mixed with regard to the claimed expenditure reductions and efficiency gains from municipal mergers. We therefore … analyze the global efficiency of the municipalities in Saxony-Anhalt, for the first time in this context, using a double … control for exogenous determinants of municipal efficiency. Our focus thereby is on institutional and fiscal variables …

pursuing multiple sustainability objectives affect decision-making efficiency and how decision-making structures might …

government efficiency developed differently after changes in accounting standards. Operating costs of administration, however …

This paper explores the impact of fiscal decentralization on the efficiency of public service delivery. It uses a … stochastic frontier method to estimate time-varying efficiency coefficients and analyzes the impact of fiscal decentralization on … those efficiency coefficients. The findings indicate that fiscal decentralization can improve the efficiency of public …
