A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'When it comes to fiscal federalism, Robin Boadway and Anwar Shah together possess what is probably an unbeatable combination of theory, empirical work and field experience around the world. They have now, literally, written the book on this increasingly important subject. The result is a comprehensive and well-written treatment from which both experts and novices will benefit. Anyone who is interested in either the principles or practices of decentralization and fiscal federalism in general or in any specific country will want to consult this book for years to come.' Richard Bird, University of Toronto

'For practitioners in the field of public finance there cannot be a better introduction to the virtues, and vices, of fiscal federalism than this new book by Robin Boadway, a leading public finance theorist, and Anwar Shah, an experienced and thoughtful advisor on fiscal policy. The theory is clearly presented, and there is an abundance of good case studies to support the arguments. Particularly valuable is the authors' wise counsel for how federal governance might handle the challenges of country poverty and macro-economic stability. Fiscal Federalism is highly recommended.' Robert Inman, The Wharton School

'Boadway and Shah have provided the new definitive treatment of the principles of fiscal federalism against a rich background of the actual practice of fiscal decentralization in both industrialized and developing countries. In a systematic and comprehensive treatment, they review and extend the basic theory of regulatory and fiscal institutions in a setting of multilevel government and then explore how all this has played out in practice around the globe. Valuable insights and lessons abound!' Wallace E. Oates, University of Maryland
