• Fiscal decentralization and deficits: International evidence (2010, background): “De Mello (2000a) shows that higher social capital, 8 defined as confidence in government, civic cooperation and associational activity, is positively related with fiscal decentralization.5 De Mello (2001) also finds evidence that good governance is positively related with subnational spending…”
• Vertical fiscal imbalances and fiscal performance in advanced economies (2013, result): “According to De Mello (2000), transfer dependency only deteriorates the fiscal position of the central government in non-OECD countries, while the opposite result is found in OECD countries.”
• On the Measurement and Impact of Fiscal Decentralization (2002, methodology): “It is a theme that is tied to “getting right” what Bird refers to as the fundamental questions of intergovernmental finance: Who does what? Who levies which taxes (and is there a place for borrowing)? How can the resulting imbalances be resolved? What is the institutional framework to deal with the ”
• Understanding decentralized forest governance: an application of the institutional analysis and development framework (2006, background): “Finally, all studies also agree that without a secure source of funding, local governments can do little about natural-resource governance (e.g., Fiszbein, 1997; Kaimowitz et al. 1998; de Mello, 2000; Pacheco, 2000).”
• Who talks with whom? The role of repeated interactions in decentralized forest governance (2004, background): “7 de Mello (2000) notes that coordination of intragovernmental fiscal relations is a prominent hurdle for decentralization policies.”
• The Good Governance Agenda: Beyond Indicators without Theory (2008, background): “Studies on decentralization and public agency creation routinely identify these tensions and inconsistencies, which undermine the conveyability of certain packages of effective government elements: Luiz de Mello ( 2000 ) found that coordination problems associated with decentralization create a defi”
• On the link between fiscal decentralization and public debt in OECD countries (2010, background): “As stated above, there are only a few empirical studies which primarily consider the impact of fiscal decentralization on fiscal balances.6 De Mello (2000) focuses on the effect of fiscal decentralization on the deficit of the federal and subnational governments separately.”
• The Impact of Fiscal Decentralization: A Survey (2015, neutral): “However, less positive results are provided by, de Mello (2000).”
