摘要本文用文献中广泛使用的七个分权指标对地区权力指数（RAI）进行验证。主轴分析揭示了一个共同的结构。地方治理指数与其他指数之间的主要分歧来源于这样一个事实，即地方治理指数不包括地方治理，而大多数其他指数都包括地方治理。另外两个分歧的来源涉及对联邦与非联邦国家的处理，以及最近区域化和/或具有不对称区域的国家，其中更细粒度的RAI捕获更大的变化。文章第二部分论述了财政指标的内容效度。
Abstract This article validates the Regional Authority Index (RAI) with seven widely used decentralization indices in the literature. A principal axis analysis reveals a common structure. The major source of disagreement between the RAI and the other indices stems from the fact that the RAI does not include local governance, whereas most other indices do. Two other sources of disagreement concern the treatment of federal versus non-federal countries, and countries which have recently regionalized and/or have asymmetrical regions, whereby the more fine-grained RAI captures greater variation. The second part of the article discusses content validity of fiscal indicators.
