“…As a result, they will divert the financial sources to the most needed faction of society with greater accuracy and efficiency, which will significantly contribute to uplifting the status of poor people. Our findings are consistent with Digdowiseiso [52], Hussain et al [35] and Siburian [23], which conclude that fiscal decentralization helps in eradicating poverty.…”

“…Rapid growth in land finance income has allowed a small number of speculators who purchase real estate as an investment to acquire large amounts of wealth, while the majority of people are unable to own homes (Cai et al, 2019). Fiscal decentralization, which allows local governments to plan their own actions so long as they achieve nationally specified goals, was implemented by China's central government in 1994 to achieve faster economic growth (Ding et al, 2018;Digdowiseiso, 2022). The impact of fiscal decentralization on income inequality is uncertain.…”

A local government can narrow the gap with other provinces by regulating tax revenues (Digdowiseiso, 2022), but may also increase the urban-rural gap due to resource allocation imbalances (Zhou and Yang, 2023). Transfer payments from the central government to local governments and social security payments to retired workers are both policies related to reducing income disparities (Lei et al, 2016;Yu and Li, 2021).…”

“…Through the state expenditure report of the National Association of State Budget Officers (NASBO), Swanson et al (2020) [9] believe that the state government bears more responsibility in funding than the federal government, and that the decentralization of medical assistance will improve poverty. Kumba Digdowiseiso (2022) [10] focused on how the function of institutional quality can explain the relationship between fiscal decentralization and poverty in 53 developing countries from 1990 to 2014, and the findings showed that both revenue and expenditure decentralization were negatively and significantly associated with poverty. Qi et al (2022) [11] proved that fiscal decentralization is significantly conducive to the industrial green transformation, and the impact of fiscal expenditure decentralization in promoting industrial green transformation is significantly greater than that of fiscal revenue decentralization.…”
