This book provides a comprehensive overview of fiscal decentralization (FD), outlining how it interacts with domestic structures and institutions. It reviews both theoretical and empirical literature relating to macroprudential institutions and macroeconomic outcomes, arguing that the complex relationship between FD and economic development undermines a one-size-fits-all approach for FD design.The book delves into shifting macroeconomic paradigms and evaluates FD in relation to the first- and second-generation fiscal decentralization literature. In light of rapid technological advancements and geopolitical changes, the book also delves into increasingly relevant issues such as fiscal discipline, income distribution, inflation and economic crises. In addition to graphical analysis to showcase international FD trends, as well as empirical analysis to show FD’s relationship with macroeconomic outcomes, a benchmark theoretical model is presented to assess the benefits from FD. It also looks ahead by considering the prospects and pitfalls for the future of FD. This book is an essential resource for students and academics in public economics and fiscal policy. Its valuable insights will greatly benefit professionals and policymakers in political economy and public economics.

The fading explanatory power of earlier development theories in providing a satisfactory account of diverse developmental experiences has necessitated a new framework to understand economic development. Bilin Neyapti presents this new framework, known as New Development Economics (NDE), which combines new institutional economics with collective action theory to explain the dynamic interaction between institutions and economic development.Besides reviewing earlier development theories and the fundamental building blocks of NDE, the author uses the NDE framework to present theoretical underpinnings and panel evidence on the effectiveness of fiscal and monetary institutions. The book incorporates the essential elements of institutional theory and highlights the issues pertaining to the measurement of institutional characteristics and the empirical analyses involving such measurement. It provides the theoretical framework of and empirical evidence on fiscal institutions, covering budgetary rules and procedures as well as fiscal decentralization, and reviews the theoretical framework for monetary institutions such as central bank independence, currency boards, monetary unions and inflation targeting in addition to providing empirical evidence on their effectiveness. The role of bank regulation and supervision is also investigated. This path-breaking and original book will prove a fascinating read for a wide-ranging audience including academics, think tanks, international development agencies and policymakers within the fields of development, economics, heterodox economics and money, banking and finance.

This is a book about conflict. In that, it is certainly not alone, but it approaches the problem in three East African countries from the standpoint of economic analysis. The authors have not ignored social, ethnic and historical factors which led to conflict, but have identified economic realities which exacerbate the frictions created by the other factors. These realities include disparities in rural-urban income levels and in health, education and employment, and a system of clientilism which benefits a small group of civil servants to the detriment of the rest of the population. Having identified aggravating economic factors in conflict, the authors proceed to an appreciation of its economic cost, then propose economic policy changes which would tend towards reducing the potential for conflict. One of a series of three volumes, this book concentrates on Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

This book is about conflict. In that, it is certainly not alone, but it approaches the problem in five Southern African countries from the standpoint of economic analysis. While the authors have not ignored social, ethnic and historical factors which led to conflict, they have identified economic realities which exacerbate underlying friction. These realities include disparities in rural-urban income levels and in health, education and employment, and a system of clientilism which benefits a small group of civil servants to the detriment of the rest of the population. Having identified aggravating economic factors in conflict, the authors proceed to an appreciation of its economic cost, then propose economic policy changes which would tend towards reducing the potential for conflict.

Les conflits : tel est le sujet de ce livre. Rien la de bien original si ce n'est qu'il analyse la situation de trois pays d'Afrique de l'Est d'un point de vue economique. Sans faire abstraction des facteurs sociaux, ethniques et historiques qui sont a l'origine des conflits, les auteurs s'interessent aux problemes economiques bien reels qui exacerbent les frictions sous-jacentes. Les disparites entre zones urbaines et rurales, par exemple, sont sensibles dans les niveaux de revenu, mais aussi dans des domaines tels que la sante, l'education ou l'emploi ; autre realite : le clientelisme, celui-ci favorise une petite elite de fonctionnaires au detriment du reste de la population. Les auteurs identifient ainsi les facteurs economiques qui jouent un role aggravant dans les situations de conflit, en evaluent le cout economique, et proposent des reorientations politiques susceptibles d'attenuer les risques de conflit. Cet ouvrage s'integre dans une serie composee de trois volumes ; il porte essentiellement sur le Kenya, l'Ouganda et la Tanzanie.
