“…En Brasil la descentralización fiscal afectó el gasto público, por depender del gasto evidenciándose los efectos sobre los gastos corrientes, de inversión y no sobre el gasto social (de Sousa & do Monte, 2021). Chile ha reorganizado la educación a través de las escuelas públicas, así se fortaleció los proyectos educativos territoriales y democratizadores (Rubio et al, 2019).…”

La Descentralización es considerada como el puente hacia la prosperidad, en razón de que permite La Descentralización es considerada como el puente hacia la prosperidad, en razón de que permite alcanzar una alta eficiencia económica; sin embargo requiere de diseños sólidos y procesos que den soporte a la etapa de implementación, de mecanismos institucionales que rijan en la práctica de la prestación de servicios que se brinda al ciudadano, los gobiernos locales deben tener la capacidad para atender las peticiones del pueblo, solo así se alcanzará los beneficios que se espera de la descentralización, el cual para mayor efectividad debe sostenerse en la gobernanza para hacer frente a la inseguridad, garantizar el crecimiento con equidad. Una gestión debe tener la capacidad administrativa de un ente regulador, contar con herramientas y recursos para fomentar la competitividad, la equidad y construir una sólida participación social.

We build factor models of the regional budgets spending composition, based on data for 2011—2019. Our estimates reveal that expenditure on social security, public health, and education have relatively low elasticity by fiscal revenue (0.6—0.7), On the contrary, national economy and housing expenditure have the highest elasticity (1.3—1.7), while culture and general public services expenditure are characterized with medium elasticity (0.8—0.9). The major econometric tool used for the analysis is quantile regression that allows to detect heterogeneity of expenditure relations with various factors. The dependence of fiscal revenues is homogenous only for social security, public health, and housing, while for other types of expenditure this relationship differs between regions with high and low fiscal revenue. We suggest procedure to identify individual ‘spending preferences’ of particular regions and classify all regions depending on their top spending priorities. Regions with a larger value of the gross regional product most often have education and social security as their priority while other regions mainly have national economy spending as a priority.

Introduction. Decentralization in Ukraine, the new stage of which began in 2014, in particular regarding the redistribution of powers and financial resources between the levels of the budget system, played a positive role in ensuring the livelihood of communities under martial law after the start of full-scale Russian aggression. Problem Statement. In domestic scientific opinion, attention is usually paid either to the applied aspects of budgetary (fiscal, financial) decentralization, or to the analysis of classic works of representatives of the first and second generations of fiscal decentralization. At the same time, any practical measures require the study of theoretical foundations, including those that have been developed over decades and those that have developed in recent years. The purpose is to generalize the work of foreign scientists on fiscal decentralization, which cover the first and second generation of theories, as well as relate to currently relevant issues. Methods. General scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, grouping, generalization, etc. are used. Results. An analysis of the theories of fiscal decentralization of the first and second generation was carried out, in particular in the aspects of increasing accountability and transparency of the government system, balanced (centralized and decentralized) provision of local public goods, the influence of endogenous and exogenous factors on its overall effect, theories of social choice, etc. The issue of fiscal decentralization, which is currently the subject of research by scientists, is considered: the impact on economic growth and human development, the dependence of the positive effect on the quality of the institutional environment, the role in anti-crisis regulation, the ratio of advantages and disadvantages in countries with developed economies, newly industrialized countries and cranes that are developing Conclusions. A certain consensus of scientists has been formed on the positive impact of decentralized systems, implemented worldwide over the last few decades, on socioeconomic development and growth of the economy, especially subject to proper substantiation of relevant reforms. At the same time, the impact on human development is ambiguous and depends on many internal and external factors. A sufficiently high quality of the institutional environment is a prerequisite for the successful course of the fiscal decentralization. In centralized countries, which are characterized by a rather rigid mechanism of economic regulation, fiscal decentralization is not only possible but also causes positive consequences, although they do not always coincide with the results of countries with liberal economies. Fiscal decentralization also justifies itself in emergency situations, which confirms the example of Ukraine after the start of full-scale Russian aggression, when communities have shown the ability to respond quickly to internal and external challenges, including accepted and satisfied the urgent needs of several millions of internally displaced persons.
