Sommario/riassunto

This paper proposes an empirical framework that distinguishes voluntary from involuntary compliance  with fiscal deficit targets on the basis of economic, institutional, and political factors. The framework is  applied to Spain’s Autonomous Communities (regions) over the period 2002-2015. Fiscal noncompliance  among Spain’s regions has shown to be persistent. It increases with the size of growth  forecast errors and the extent to which fiscal targets are tightened, factors not fully under the control  of regional governments. Non-compliance also tends to increase during election years, when vertical  fiscal imbalances accentuate, and market financing costs subside. Strong fiscal rules have not shown  any significant impact in containing fiscal non-compliance. Reducing fiscal non-compliance in multilevel  governance systems such as the one in Spain requires a comprehensive assessment of  intergovernmental fiscal arrangements that looks beyond rules-based frameworks by ensuring  enforcement procedures are politically credible.
