Vertical Transfers, Political Alignment, and Efficiency in Local Government
When decentralized governments share the public budget, distributive policies are needed to allocate public goods and services among them. To date, however, both the theoretical and empirical literature has largely examined the effect of political orientation on the quantity of transfers received, without considering how efficiently they are managed. This article aims to fill this gap by linking the literature on political alignment and transfers…

Quality of government and economic growth at the municipal level
This paper analyzes the relationship between government efficiency—an important dimension of quality of government—and economic growth at the municipal level in 1,820 Spanish municipalities during the period 2008–2015. At this level of disaggregation, the literature is virtually nonexistent due to severe data constraints. The efficiency of local government provides an accurate indicator of how good local authorities are in managing their budget. …
Explaining local governments' cost efficiency
Searching for the optimal territorial structure
Modern states are organized in multilevel governance structures with economic and political authorities dispersed across them. However, although there is relatively widespread consensus that this form of organization is preferable to a centralized authority, the same cannot be said about its jurisdictional design – that is, how to transfer authority from central states to both supra- and subnational levels. This lack of consensus also exists in c…
Evaluating local government performance in times of crisis
In recent years, Spanish local governments have come under increasing pressure to accommodate severe economic restrictions while maintaining their \nprovision of local public services. We analyse overall cost efficiency in Spanish \nlocal governments during the period of the economic crisis (2008–2013), \nunder four different non-parametric methodologies. Moreover, given how \nproblematic it is to precisely define what municipalities do, we compa…
Local governments' efficiency
The efficient management of the available resources in local governments has been a topic of high interest in the field of public sector. We provide an extensive and comprehensive review of the existing literature on local governments' efficiency from a global point of view, covering all articles from 1990 to August 2016. This paper is the first of two. It covers the basic aspects related to local governments' efficiency measurement not taking in…
