尽管有大量关于规模分权与政府规模之间关系的文献，但分权对地方政府行为的影响却很少被研究。本研究实证分析了日本都道府县之间的规模竞争，并考虑了都道府县的规模分权程度。结果表明，规模分权刺激了规模竞争，从而导致政府规模的扩大。关键词: 财政分权, 财政竞争, 空间互动 JEL 分类: H77, H72
Although there is extensive literature concerning the relationship between
scal decentralization and the size of government, the impact of decentralization on the behavior of sub-national government has rarely been studied. This study analyzes
scal competition among prefectures in Japan empirically, and considers the degree of
scal decentralization by prefecture. The results show that
scal decentralization stimulates
scal competition, and consequently causes the size of government to increase. Key words: Fiscal decentralization, Fiscal competition, Spatial interaction JEL Classi
cation: H77, H72
