Description

In the efficient delivery of local public services, size matters. This volume from the Studies in Fiscal Federalism and State-local Finance series examines the complexities of vertical government structures. Many countries face challenges with jurisdictional fragmentation, which can lead to perceived inefficiencies in service delivery.

Featuring contributions from experts in economics and political science, the text offers a detailed breakdown of local jurisdiction fragmentation. It moves beyond theory to provide practical recommendations for successful policy reform. Whether you are studying fiscal federalism or looking for insights into state-local finance, this work provides the necessary context to understand how government size impacts public service efficiency and policy outcomes on a global scale.
