Universal Basic Income as an instrument of regional development policy: A micro–macroeconomic analysis for Scotland
Regional development now encompasses inclusive growth so that welfare spending becomes a potentially important policy for regions with devolved powers. Universal Basic Income (UBI), an unconditional payment to all citizens, has been gaining traction, including internationally. We provide a system-wide analysis of a region-specific UBI for Scotland on the level and distribution of regional activity. Using both micro- and macroeconomic models, we f…
Quebec, Scotland, and substate governments' roles in Canadian and British trade policy: Lessons to be learned
Following Brexit (the withdrawal of the UK from the EU and the European Atomic Energy Community at the end of 31 January 2020), the British government stated that it hoped to reach a new trade agreement with Canada to be modelled after the Canada-EU Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, the first free-trade deal for which Canadian provinces were directly involved at every stage of negotiations. In the UK, while there are mechanisms for the …
Will the benefits of fiscal devolution outweigh the costs? Considering Scotland’s new fiscal framework
An extensive programme of fiscal devolution to the Scottish Parliament is underway. Fiscal devolution is expected to bring several benefits, including the ability to align policy more closely to preferences, and enhancing the accountability of the devolved parliament. But it can entail costs in the form of diseconomies of scale, complexity for taxpayers, and various inequities and inefficiencies. This paper reviews Scotland’s new devolved fiscal …
Migration and fiscal policy as factors explaining the labour-market resilience of UK regions to the Great Recession
London has been at the vanguard of the UK’s recovery from recession, recovering its pre-recession levels of output and employment more rapidly than other regions. A large part of London’s stronger recovery can be explained by increased employment and reduced inactivity among overseas-born immigrants. Furthermore, net outmigration from London to other UK regions fell during the recession, and is only beginning to return to previous levels. Both fa…
Reform of the Barnett Formula with Needs Assessment: Can the Challenges be Overcome
Block grants to the UK's devolved administrations are allocated using the Barnett Formula. There have been calls to replace this formula with one based on spending needs assessment, but two obstacles to doing so have been raised. First, that the devolved administrations would be unable to agree on how needs should be assessed; and second, it is unclear how needs assessment might work for devolved governments that can pursue different spending pol…
Assessing Relative Spending Needs of Devolved Government: The Case of Healthcare Spending in the UK
Ball R., Eiser D. and King D. Assessing relative spending needs of devolved government: the case of healthcare spending in the UK, Regional Studies. The block grants allocated to the UK's devolved administrations are not determined by any estimate of their spending needs. There are increasing calls to replace the current grant allocation mechanism with one that explicitly considers the devolved administrations' spending needs. This paper compares…
