“…Thus, when analyzing inner resignation, the question is not only whether employees’ motivation to work is crowded-out by reward power, but – more importantly – whether their motivation is crowded-in by adding rewards to a context of legitimate power. Studies from economics have demonstrated crowding-in effects in the context of welfare systems Künemund & Rein (1999) and unconditional grants ( Caldeira & Rota-Graziosi, 2014 ), but this assumption has not yet been tested in the work context. My results support the crowding-in effect in the work context as well, as reward supervisor power was found to strengthen the beneficial effect of legitimate organizational power on employees’ inner resignation.…”

“…Recent empirical investigations (e.g. Brun and Khdari 2016;Caldeira and Rota-Graziosi 2014;Zhang 2013) uncover a 'crowding-in' impact of transfers from central government to local government -grants and subsidies from central government expand own revenue collection of local government.…”

The Impact of Intergovernmental Transfers on Fiscal Behaviour of Local Governments in Ethiopia

This paper examines the effect of intergovernmental fiscal transfers on the fiscal behaviour of local governments in Ethiopia for the period 2004-2018. The empirical findings suggest that central government grants bolster state-level employment and expenditure. However, grants from the central government to states do not crowd out state-level revenue collection. Hence, this paper argues that fiscal decentralisation in Ethiopia has mostly, at least in theory, taken the form of devolution of the power to tax and spend public money. However, on average state-level revenue can only finance up to 26 per cent of their annual expenditure. As a result, fiscal federalism in Ethiopia appears to be a form of delegation of spending responsibilities. It has to be considered in the context of a decentralised tax system, but with a transfer scheme and political hierarchy. The results are found to be robust to alternative econometric estimation techniques.

“…Few studies examine the issue of local government finance in Africa. These studies include, among others, Amusa, Mabunda, and Mabugu (2008), Caldeiraa and Rota-Graziosi (2014), and Mogues, Benin, and Cudjoe (2009). In this regard, our study attempts to bridge the gap, as it empirically assesses the spatial variability in the relationships between municipal operating expenditure and its determinants in South Africa.…”

Spatially varying relationships between municipal operating expenditure and its determinants: The case of South Africa

We apply the geographically weighted regression to investigate spatial variability (nonstationarity) in the relationships between municipal operating expenditure (in total and for a separate component thereof) and the determinants of this expenditure, in South Africa. The empirical findings indicate that some of these relationships are spatially varying for the period under consideration. The global model (i.e., least square regression) cannot take account of the unequal environment in which South African municipalities operate. One implication of our findings is that a “one‐size‐fits‐all” approach in the design of policies targeting municipal finances may not be appropriate for municipalities in South Africa, and indeed in other contexts in which such heterogeneity is found. Instead, policy formulation should explicitly consider relevant differences in local conditions.
