Braun, Dietmar

Fiscal policies in federal states / - Aldershot, England ; Burlington, VT : Ashgate, c2003. - vi, 290 p. ;

Includes bibliographical references (p. [275]-285) and index.

This text investigates the impact of federal structure on fiscal policy-making in four country cases and answers the question to what extent federal structures hinder or, on the contrary, enhance a states' decision and co-ordination capacity in the field of fiscal policy. It questions the common assumption that federal structures restrain the co-ordination and hence macroeconomic management capacity.
