Title: Intergovernmental Block Transfers in Developed Countries: USA, Australia and Canada
Abstract: This article provides an overview of the international experience in provision of intergovernmental block transfers. The objective is to make two points. The first one is that the transition from earmarked to block transfers in developed countries was forced by the need of reducing the state budget deficit. The second reason for adopting block transfers appears from the necessity for increasing transparency and accountability of intergovernmental transfers.
