“…The process by which these taxes are subsequently "devolved" to the provinces has been regulated by the FTSA. 34 See Saiegh and Tommasi (2000), Nicolini et al (1999), , World Bank (1996), Schwartz and Liuksila (1997). 35 Total subnational spending oscillates around 2/3 of consolidated government spending (excluding pensions), i.e., it is twice as large as spending by the national government.…”
