This book was released on 1988 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

The General Apathy Of The Higher Level Of Governments In Giving Grants And Loans To The Lower Level Of Governments Has Also Been Verified. The Author Contends That The Rate Of Growth Of Economic Develop¬Ment Can Be Accelerated If Local Governments Are Associated With The Planning Process And Has Suggested The Ways In Which Federal Fiscal Devo¬Lution Can Help To Achieve The Broader Economic And Social Objectives. Credit Goes To The Author In Examining Urban Local Finance Rather Neglected In The Study Of Government Finances Which Now Seeks To Concentrate On The Finances Of Union And State Govern¬Ments Only.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The System Of Local Government Has For Long Recognized As An Integral Part Of The Democratic Life Of A Country Though Its Functioning In Practice Has Been A Matter Of Debate And Dispute. People S Welfare Depends On The Efficient Functioning Of Local Bodies. The Need For Local Government Is Not Only Theoretical But Is Also The Means Of Effectively Providing Certain Services Which Cannot Be Done By The Central Government. Since The Time Of John Stuart Mill Local Government Has Been Justified As An Integral Part Of Democratic Government And The Values Of Liberty, Equality And Fraternity Are Consider To Be Provided By Local Government. But In Modern Society Industrialization And Urbanization Have Put Increasing Pressures On Local Authorities, Which Are Then Considered Inadequate Both In Domestic And Efficiency Terms. As A Result Central Government Is Taking Away More And More Functions From Local Authorities And Vesting Them With Special Purpose Agencies.The General Impact Of Economic Planning Has Been To Promote Centralization At The Expense Of Citizen Access And Participation Resulting In Increased Central Control, Reduced Autonomy Of Local Government And Remoteness Of The Government From The Citizens. There Remains A Need, Nevertheless, For A Review Of Intergovernmental Relations And Decentralization In Decision Making.This Book Is The Outcome Of Painstaking Research Of The Author On Finance And Local Self Government, Depicting The Indian Experience.

This book was released on 2020-12-15 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The literature on fiscal decentralisation in India is few and far between. The collection of papers in this volume written by scholars who have done scholarly works on the theme seeks to fill the gap relating to the state sub-state level fiscal decentralisation in India. While the first paper by Anwar Shah, an internationally known expert on fiscal federalism, provides a general backdrop relating to fiscal decentralisation and macro management, all other papers critically review the various dimensions of fiscal decentralisation emerging in India since the implementation of the 73rd/74th constitutional amendments by the state governments. Two papers focus exclusively on Kerala which has won world-wide acclaim for its innovative initiatives in decentralisation.

Book Synopsis Local Government Finance by : Dirk Brand
Download or read book Local Government Finance written by Dirk Brand and published by AFRICAN SUN MeDIA. This book was released on 2016-05-22 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local Government Financeÿdoes not follow the conventional operational approach to local government finance which typically focuses on issues such as revenue collection, budgeting, performance auditing and accounting, and debt administration. Instead, it offers a broader systemic and multi-level perspective by assessing the governance model of local government finance. For this purpose, the authors compare and contrast the South African model with the international experience. The publication thus makes a significant contribution to analysts and scholars in their sense-making and knowledge production endeavours in this field.
Book Synopsis Local Government Finance, Private Resources, and Local Credit Markets in Asia by : Roberto de Vera
Download or read book Local Government Finance, Private Resources, and Local Credit Markets in Asia written by Roberto de Vera and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ongoing political decentralization in Asia, with central governments devolving to local governments the responsibilities of delivering key development projects and public services, calls for sound local government finance. Local government finance in the region exhibits several problems: deterioration of the fiscal health in many countries, mismatch between the delegated responsibilities and revenue-generating authority, resultant continued heavy reliance on central government transfers, and lack of political will to develop an external financing strategy to tap long-term private resources. In order for local governments to mobilize private savings for long-term infrastructure projects, it is imperative to develop municipal credit markets. Two models of municipal credit markets can be considered: the bank model popular in Western Europe and the bond model widely used in North America. The bond model has theoretically more advantages than the other. However, Asian local governments may start with either model considering the countries' social-cultural-political milieu and keep a proper combination of both models serving different segments of local credit markets.
Book Synopsis Financing Metropolitan Governments in Developing Countries by : Roy W. Bahl
Download or read book Financing Metropolitan Governments in Developing Countries written by Roy W. Bahl and published by Lincoln Inst of Land Policy. This book was released on 2013 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economic activity that drives growth in developing countries is heavily concentrated in cities. Catchphrases such as “metropolitan areas are the engines that pull the national economy” turn out to be fairly accurate. But the same advantages of metropolitan areas that draw investment also draw migrants who need jobs and housing, lead to demands for better infrastructure and social services, and result in increased congestion, environmental harm, and social problems. The challenges for metropolitan public finance are to capture a share of the economic growth to adequately finance new and growing expenditures and to organize governance so that services can be delivered in a cost-effective way, giving the local population a voice in fiscal decision making. At the same time, care must be taken to avoid overregulation and overtaxation, which will hamper the now quite mobile economic engine of private investment and entrepreneurial initiative. Metropolitan planning has become a reality in most large urban areas, even though the planning agencies are often ineffective in moving things forward and in linking their plans with the fiscal and financial realities of metropolitan government. A growing number of success stories in metropolitan finance and management, together with accumulated experience and proper efforts and support, could be extended to a broader array of forward-looking programs to address the growing public service needs of metropolitan-area populations. Nevertheless, sweeping metropolitan-area fiscal reforms have been few and far between; the urban policy reform agenda is still a long one; and there is a reasonable prospect that closing the gaps between what we know how to do and what is actually being done will continue to be difficult and slow. This book identifies the most important issues in metropolitan governance and finance in developing countries, describes the practice, explores the gap between practice and what theory suggests should be done, and lays out the reform paths that might be considered. Part of the solution will rest in rethinking expenditure assignments and instruments of finance. The “right” approach also will depend on the flexibility of political leaders to relinquish some control in order to find a better solution to the metropolitan finance problem.
Book Synopsis Financing of Local Governments in India by : Gautam Naresh
Download or read book Financing of Local Governments in India written by Gautam Naresh and published by . This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book : -The existence of vertical fiscal imbalance between the States and local bodies as well as horizontal fiscal imbalance among the local bodies is a major problem in a federal system. 73rd and 74th Amendments to the Constitution provide a new vista to the aspect of autonomy to the third tier governments. In this context, this study is the first systematic attempt to apply econometric methods to study municipal finances in India and is, therefore, a pioneering work. The analysis of the fiscal behavior includes performance at macro-level through cross-sectional data and at micro-level through time-series data from the Municipal Corporation of Delhi. The coverage includes an analysis of the basic concepts, review of literature, a profile of municipal finances in India, growth of urban population vis- -vis demand for civic services, fiscal inequaliti3es in this sector, and determinants analysis. It also includes an in-depth study of the behavior of the expenditures and revenues in relation to time, population, prices and community income, partial income-and price-elasticities and trends of function-wise shares of expenditures. The study would benefit the policy makers, researchers, and all those interested in urban fiscal behaviour. About the Author : - Dr Gautam Naresh, at present working as Deputy Economic Advisor to the First State Finance Commission for the national Capital Territory of Delhi and the Union Territory of Chandigarh, is a specialist in urban finances. Prior to this, Dr. Naresh has worked on the research staff of the national Institute of Public Finance and Policy, New Delhi. He has also worked with the department of business management, and commerce, Punjabi university, Chandigarh and Giri Institute of Development Studies, Lucknow. His contributions include various studies on urban finances, sales tax, union excise duty, public expenditure and fiscal federalism. He has contributed many research papers to a number of all-India Conferences and to leading journals in the field.
