The Fiscal decentralization database is a panel of data on indices of fiscal decentralization every ten years from 1975, 1985, and 1995 for about 100 countries. It includes measures of fiscal centralization and of federalism constructed for this paper as well as a collection of all the important socioeconomic characteristics of countries around the world from a variety of sources.
This dataset is part of the Global Research Program on Spatial Development of Cities funded by the Multi-Donor Trust Fund on Sustainable Urbanization of the World Bank and supported by the U.K. Department for International Development.
