2000年以来，日本的平成大合并（Great Heisei Consolidation）促进了规模经济的市町村合并，并大幅减少了市町村的数量。中央政府最关注的是鼓励在许多城市人口不足10，000的地区合并。对“大都市权力扩散指数”（MPDI）和“移动资源”的分析表明，尽管一半的地区取得了良好的改造，但合并并不总是能提高财务效率。然而，更引人注目的结果是，抵制中央政府整合激励措施的都道府县市町村，特别是拥有众多小町村的北海道，由于财政状况相对不利，继续从中央政府获得地方分配税收再分配的好处。相比之下，那些遵循中央政府政策建议并取得良好成果的经过精心修改的市政当局的好处减少了，财政豁免也被削减了。因此，中央政府使用加速和限制性方法来激励合并的做法受到限制，因为它一直愿意救助不接受国家政策的贫困城市。
In Japan, the Great Heisei Consolidation has facilitated municipal mergers for economies of scale and drastically reduced the number of municipalities since 2000.This phase of merger promotion ended in 2010. The central government’s strongest focus was on encouraging mergers in areas where many municipalities each had a population of less than 10,000. An analysis of the “metropolitan power diffusion index” (MPDI) and “move resources” shows that, although half of the areas achieved good modifications, mergers do not always improve financial efficiency. However, the more striking result is that municipalities in prefectures that resisted the central government’s consolidation incentives, especially Hokkaido where there are many small municipalities, continued to receive the benefit of local allocation tax revenue redistribution from the central government due to their relatively disadvantaged fiscal status. By contrast, the benefits of well-modified municipalities that followed the recommendations of central government policy and achieved good outcomes were reduced and financial exemption was cut. Thus, the central government’s use of accelerated and restrictive approaches to incentivise consolidation was limited by its ongoing willingness to bail out needy municipalities that did not accept with national policy.
