摘要
The paper argues that governments in regions that rely heavily oil intergovernmental transfers and natural resource rents face serious, distortions in their incentive structure. As a result, such regions tend to have more fiscally centralized governments than the regional characteristics would Suggest. Data oil Russian regions in the late 1990s early 2000s Support this hypothesis. Advancing intraregional fiscal decentralization in rentier regions could reduce policy distortions, and make the subnational environment more supportive of economic development.
