“…In needs-based systems, one can avoid this by basing spending needs assessments on characteristics that it is difficult for councils to manipulate, but which are still likely to be highly correlated with spending needs. Blochliger et al (2007) suggest that physical geographical characteristics (such as topography, the share of an area's border that is made up of coastline) can be suitable for some services, although they may explain only a small degree of the variation in demand for and cost of providing services across areas. Concerns about 'gaming' may also mean that it makes more sense to use socio-economic characteristics (such as health, education, age structure, employment status, housing tenure), than indicators of service usage, which may be more easily 'gamed'.…”

“…Por ejemplo, el Medicaid es un programa destinado a dar cobertura médica; la cuantía que recibe cada estado varía en relación inversa a los ingresos estatales por habitante. Esta cuantía puede llegar a ser significativa (Blöchliger et al, 2007).…”

En este artículo se examina el sistema de financiación de las comunidades autónomas en España desde la economía y la ciencia política. Tras definir los principios básicos del federalismo fiscal y su relación con las preferencias políticas de los ciudadanos, discutimos los problemas del modelo vigente y sus posibles reformas en tres escenarios de federalismo débil, moderado y potente. El sistema de financiación autonómico en España se compara con el de cuatro países federales: Alemania, Canadá, EE. UU. y Suiza. Se adopta una perspectiva propositiva dirigida a la formulación de recomendaciones políticas.

“…The primary and secondary income differences among municipalities have been studied with the use of the variation coefficient weighted by population. It is used also by other authors (Blöchliger, 2007;Portnov, 2010). This coefficient is calculated from the following formula (Shankar, 2003):…”

Research into the differences between income-generating capacities of rural municipalities and the effectiveness of vertical and horizontal transfers in levelling these differences reflects the financial situation of municipalities and their ability to meet the needs of local communities. The conclusions of this study can be used in the implementation of the government's financial policy. The aim of this article is to analyse and assess the effectiveness of the general subsidy for rural municipalities in Poland. The income-generating capacities of municipalities are expressed in the amount of tax revenue per capita, and its primary and secondary diversity is measured by the coefficient of variation weighted by the number of inhabitants. The study found very significant discrepancies among income-generating capacities of rural municipalities in Poland. The effectiveness of the fiscal equalization mechanism is moderately high, as individual transfers vary with respect to their "equalising power".
