Fiscal Federalism and Economic Growth (2006, background): “However, the more-recent papers Lin and Liu (2000), Akai and Sakata (2002), Stansel (2005) and Iimi (2005) all find a positive relationship between 1 decentralization and growth, suggesting that Oates may have been right after all.”
Spatial Data Analysis of Regional Development in Greater Beijing, China, in a GIS Environment (2008, methodology): “The percentage of SOE’s investment in total investment (SOEPCT) is utilised to examine the effects of SOEs on regional development; 4. decentralisation, particularly on the fiscal expenditure side, is instrumental in economic growth (Iimi 2005).”
FISCAL DECENTRALIZATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: SPENDING VERSUS REVENUE DECENTRALIZATION (2013, methodology): “Jin and Zou (2005) also tested simultaneously for growth effects of expenditure and revenue decentralization across Chinese provinces, but they reject Oates’ hypothesis.”
Fiscal Decentralization and Regional Disparity: Evidence from Cross-Section and Panel Data (2009, neutral): “1There are several empirical studies that test this theory of a link between scal decentralization and economic growth, single country studies, e.g., Zou (1998), Akai (2002), or Jin et al. (2005), as well as cross-country studies, e.g., Davoodi and Zou (1998), Yilmaz (1999), Iimi (2005) , or Thornt”
The dynamics of regional inequalities (2009, background): “Iimi (2005) further argues that countries specific characteristics such as the lack of administrative capacity of local government, especially in the case of recent decentralization or the lack of coordination in public goods provision across different jurisdictional unit may hamper the expected…”
Decentralization and efficiency of local government (2010, neutral): “Some of the conclusions drawn by these studies are difficult to reconcile, since, as indicated by Iimi (2005) , “there is a mixed picture of the decentralization effect on economic growth across earlier empirical studies”.”
