Abstract

This study focuses on the central-state relation on public expenditures from the view points of public preferences
at subnational governments’ level and financing responsibilities incurred at the state and federal levels to
accomplish the overall economic directions of the country. The study touches on how traditional views of public
expenditures work in central-local relations and how they work in overall public revenue and expenditure
responsibilities. It presents the revenue productivity and the degree of dependence of the regional governments
on the central/federal government grants and what impacts this dependence would have on local revenue and
expenditure, as well as the overall public responsibilities. Moreover, it shows how and why public sectors should
minimize the degree of dependence on federal grants, and the relevance of revenue sources from constitutional
point of view.
