Отправить эту статью по почте Local Fiscal Capacity in the New Members of the European Union: Is It Efficient?
Аннотация
Design/methodology/approach – The impact of the locally collected taxes on economic growth is analyzed by the means of regression analysis. The GDP growth rate is adopted as a dependent variable in the model and its deviations are explained via tax instruments for building fiscal capacity.
Findings – Strong positive effects on economy, when property taxes come in local budgets.
Research limitations/implications – There are many factors affecting the economic growth, which are not included in the regression model. The effects of the charges levied by local governments also remain without estimation.
Originality/Value - The study fills in the gap of research on the benefits of local fiscal capacity in the countries of interest.
