Özet

Fiscal decentralization, one of the main issues in economic research in recent decades, is believed that the management of public financial resources and the service delivery by local governments would be carried out more effectively than central governments. This study aims to determine the fiscal decentralization effectiveness of subnational governments in the 32 countries, divided into two categories as, the unitary states and the federal states, from 2010 to 2019, and to compare the effectiveness levels in the period between the Global Finance Crisis and the COVID-19 Crisis. To calculate the fiscal decentralization efficiency of the selected countries with the data envelopment analysis method, inputs and outputs determined within the scope of different studies in the field of fiscal decentralization are used together. In this study, which is essential in terms of calculating the relative efficiency scores of the countries in the period between the two crises, it is detected that most of the countries analyzed reached high effectiveness scores after the Global Finance Crisis.
