“…Since then, however, the provinces have faced federal cutbacks; in 1996-1997 and 1997-1998 the total CHST entitlements were set at $26.9 billion and $25.1 billion respectively. The five-year CHST funding arrangement for the period 1998-1999 to 2002-2003 froze total entitlements at $25.1 billion until the year 2000 after which the aggregate entitlement increased by a GDP-based escalator (Snoddon 1998). The exact percentage of the federal contribution to total health care expenditures in Canada, and the manner in which it is calculated, have been a subject of substantial debate.…”

In this paper, we examine the impact of decentralization of health care administration on inequity in health care access in Canada. We extend previous studies in two ways. First, to explore the spatial dimension of inequity, we adopt a perfect decomposable inequality measure--the Theil index--in our analysis. Secondly, we conduct a before and after comparison of a change in the degree of decentralization in Canada--the introduction of the CHST in 1996/1997. This may shed some lights on the casual relationship between decentralization and health-related inequity. The results of our analysis show that the overall inequity in health care utilization is mostly explained by variations within provinces in Canada. The increase in the degree of decentralization is related to lower degree of overall and within-province inequity in the use of GP and hospital services, and lower between-province inequity in the use of all the three health care variables examined in this paper.

“…Some Canadian examples include the effect of matching grants on social assistance expenditures (Baker et al. ), the effect on provincial health and education spending of replacing matching grants with bloc grants for provinces (Coyte and Landon ), the impact of the same shift on the net distribution of revenues across provinces (Snoddon ) and the effect of conditional grants on spending by municipalities (Brett and Tardif ).…”

The study of fiscal federalism has been central to the research of Canadian economists since the Rowell–Sirois Report. To mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Canadian Economics Association, it is fitting to take stock of their contributions. We focus on the period since 1982 and emphasize the main scholarly publications of an inclusive array of Canadian economists and economists in Canadian universities. Our attention is devoted to applications in the context of federal and provincial governments, setting aside related issues in municipal government finance. We briefly discuss instances where the fiscal federalism literature has informed policy debates including through policy research institutes, government commissions and international organizations.
