作为一个权力下放的倡导者，我发现很难回应雷米普鲁德霍姆反对权力下放的论点。毫无疑问，权力下放如果做得不好，会引起问题。但这篇文章并不是主要致力于证明这一主张;在大多数情况下，它认为分散化本身是错误的。普鲁德霍姆（第201页）建立了一个他称之为“财政联邦主义的纯粹分权”的稻草人。然后，他认为，依赖这一理论将导致各种问题，包括容忍司法管辖区之间的差异，无法执行宏观经济稳定政策，以及公共部门生产效率的损失。在题为“超越集权-分权二分法”的一节中，他提出了他对这种方法的解毒剂。对这种赠款的研究并不局限于学术研究。虽然在美国，赠款的使用相对有限，但其他联合会的情况并非如此。
As an advocate of decentralization, I find it difficult to respond to Remy Prud'homme's arguments against decentralization. It is undoubtedly true that decentralization, done badly, can cause problems. But the article is not devoted primarily to demonstrating that proposition; for the most part it argues that decentralization, per se, is wrongheaded. Prud'homme (p. 201) sets up a straw man that he calls the 'pure decentralization of fiscal federalism.' He then argues that relying on this theory will lead to a variety of problems, including a tolerance of interjurisdictional disparities, an inability to conduct macroeconomic stabilization policy, and a loss of productive efficiency in the public sector. In a section entitled 'beyond the centralization-decentralization dichotomy,' he presents his antidote to this approach. The study of such grants has not been confined to academic research. Although the use of grants is relatively limited in the United States, that is not the case in other federations.
