(2012, neutral): “…of taxing power of sub-central governments in 30 OECD countries over the years 1995-2005 is provided in Blöchliger and Rabesona (2009), while Stegarescu (2005) investigates the long-run trend in the degree of tax revenue decentralization for 23 OECD countries in the time period between 1965…”
Fiscal Decentralization and Regional Disparities: Evidence from Several European Union Countries (2008, background): “…for failing to identify the degree of expenditure autonomy of subnational governments, differentiate between tax and nontax revenue sources, or determine what proportion of intergovernmental transfers is discretionary or conditional (Ebel and Yilmaz, 2002; Rodden, 2004; Stegarescu, 2005).”
THE SUBSIDIARIZATION OF SOCIAL POLICIES: ACTORS, PROCESSES AND IMPACTS (2008, background): “In particular, in the 1990s reforms aimed at increasing the financial autonomy of sub-national levels of government both in terms of revenues, fostering own taxation (Stegarescu 2005 : 301), and in terms of expenditure, through the increase of costs to be covered by local resources.”
Determinants of public education spending in 21 OECD democracies, 1980–2001 (2007, background): “As Stegarescu (2004) has shown, the degree to which tax revenue is decentralized, that is, the degree to which lower levels of government can decide autonomously on tax rates and the tax base, is not necessarily the highest in constitutionally federalist countries.”
