"...a rich empirical collection that scholars of fiscal federalism will much appreciate. The eclectic combination of concepts in the book’s analytical framework allows for a rather flexible empirical investigation that is adapted to each country... This approach results in broad and rich empirical analyses..." - Fabio Wasserfallen, University of Salzburg and University of Zurich, Book Review in Swiss Political Science Review (2018) Vol. 24(2): 204-214.
