Fiscal Decentralization: A Political Theory with Latin American Cases
Theories of fiscal federalism explain the efficiency and other economic gains from decentralization but do not explain its extent and nature in practice. The authors develop a political theory of decentralization that focuses on the lines of political accountability between politicians at different levels of government. The more accountable central-level politicians—presidents and legislators—are to subnational politicians, the greater the extent…
Impactos das relações Banco Central x Bancos Estaduais no arranjo federativo pós-1994: Análise à luz do caso Banespa
Este artigo indica, por meio do estudo de caso do processo de federalização do Banespa, que deve haver sérias reservas quanto à ideia atual de que houve centralização do poder no governo central imposta pelo executivo federal nos anos 90. O caso Banespa é um estudo de caso crítico, pois demonstra que a reestruturação do sistema bancário estadual não é causada pelo governo federal em nome da manutenção do processo de estabilização econômica. Os au…
Central banking reform and overcoming the moral hazard problem: The case of Brazil
The implicit assumption that governments will bailout financial institutions under distress can generate negative incentives for the development of a sound financial system. This paper begins from the premise that these negative incentives, which create a situation of moral hazard, is essentially a political problem rather than a technical problem over generating correct institutional incentives. In the Brazilian case, we argue the current admini…
The Politics of Decentralization in Latin America
One of the most significant developments in Latin American politics and political economy in the last two decades has been the increasing decentralization of government. This development has generated a substantial literature on the pros and cons of decentralization and on subnational politics but few attempts to explain differences in the pattern of decentralization across countries. Fiscal decentralization must be understood as a political barg…
Central banking, democratic governance and political authority: The case of Brazil in a comparative perspective
By examining the relationship between democratic governance and monetary authority this paper accomplishes two principal tasks. First, it justifies placing the study of monetary authority as a central item on the research agenda of political scientists. Beginning from the premise central banks constitute a special mode of political authority, we examine trade-offs between questions of transparency, democratic accountability, and public sector eff…
