The spatial spillover effect of fiscal decentralization on local public provision: Mathematical application and empirical estimation

作者:

Highlights:

• Theoretical model investigates the decentralized spillover effect of public provision.

• Moran's I test statistically proves high spatial correlation in public provision.

• The direct and spillover effect of revenue decentralization is negative which consist in “Leviathan hypothesis”

• Expenditure decentralization had a positive direct and spillover effect which proves Chinese “PTG”.

• The estimation consequences of direct and spillover effect in variables like Urban-rural differences, economics openness and GDP growth rates differ dramatically.
