| Research Abstract |
We have investigated fiscal equalization in ten countries (Australia, Canada, United States, China, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Swiss, and Japan). Unconditional grants are basically intended to rectify differences in the fiscal capacity of local governments in order to ensure a minimum level of public services. In many countries (Canada, Australia, UK, Japan), fiscal equalization systems take a vertical form, from the central government to the local government. However, in Germany, horizontal fiscal equalization is conducted, i.e., from states that are above the average to states that are below the average. 16Chapters presented below are main table of contents of our publication. The tile of book is ‘Fiscal equalization in decentralization drive' published near future from the university of tokyo press.
