  • Human development and decentralization

    Open AccessRonald Miranda, Leonel Muinelo‐Gallo et al.ARTICLEAnnals of Public and Cooperative…2022Cited by: 1References: 15

    In this article, we empirically analyze the impact of central and subnational government spending on human development in a sample of 57 developed and developing countries over the period 2000–18. Specifically, we focus on the effects of health and education public expenditure on the Human Development Index (HDI) and its dimensions (life expectancy, education, and income). Applying data panel analysis, our empirical evidence shows the importance …

  • Redistributive efficiency of fiscal policy

    Ronald Miranda, Leonel Muinelo‐Gallo et al.ARTICLERegional & Federal Studies2022Cited by: 1References: 8

    In this paper, we empirically analyse the redistributive efficiency of fiscal policy considering its degree of decentralization for a sample of thirty-five countries over the 2000–2016 period. To do this, we follow a two-stage process where we first employ a bootstrap Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method to estimate the redistributive efficiency of cash transfers and direct taxes at the central and subnational levels. We obtain evidence that re…

  • Fiscal disparities in Uruguay’s regions

    Leonel Muinelo‐Gallo, Leonel Muinelo-Gallo et al.ARTICLECEPAL review2020

    This article conducts an empirical analysis of the role of intergovernmental transfers in a group of regions (departments) in Uruguay during the period 2006 2014. It examines the structure and evolution of regional fiscal disparities and the equalizing effects of the current transfer system. It then proposes an innovative methodology for simulating the effects of a new system of equalization transfers. The main finding is that implementing this n…

  • Redistributive efficiency in 28 developed economies

    Open AccessAndreas P Kyriacou, Leonel Muinelo‐Gallo et al.ARTICLEJournal of European Social Policy2017Cited by: 1References: 13

    This article analyses the redistributive efficiency of social transfers and direct taxation in a panel of 28 developed economies during the period 1995–2010. In order to explore how redistribution is achieved through these fiscal policies, a two-stage approach is applied. First, we evaluate their redistributive efficiency – the degree of redistribution attained for a given level of transfers and taxes – using data envelopment analysis (DEA). We f…

  • Regional inequalities, fiscal decentralization and government quality

    Andreas P Kyriacou, Leonel Muinelo‐Gallo et al.ARTICLERegional Studies2016Cited by: 25References: 10

    Regional inequalities, fiscal decentralization and government quality. Regional Studies. There are theoretical arguments supporting the view that regional income inequalities, the degree of fiscal decentralization and the quality of government are simultaneously determined. This article argues that existing empirical work has failed to deal adequately with this possibility. In light of this, it applies a simultaneous equation model, which account…
