Fiscal decentralization gives local governments powers to set local taxes and make local expenditures. In many countries local governments also have powers to regulate land uses within the general guidelines set by higher authorities. An understanding of the degree to which local and provincial governments can exercise these powers, make decisions about their revenues and expenditures, and are held accountable for outcomes is crucial for land policy research and education. Three key themes emerged from a Lincoln Institute conference in June 2007: the extent and effectiveness of local service provision under decentralization; the connections between decentralization and local policies; and the effects of intergovernmental transfers on local fiscal behavior. 410 0$aLand Policy Series 606 $aIntergovernmental fiscal relations 606 $aLand use$xGovernment policy 615 0$aIntergovernmental fiscal relations. 615 0$aLand use$xGovernment policy. 676 $a333.77 701 $aIngram$b Gregory K$0261849 701 $aHong$b Yu-hung$0869255 712 02$aLincoln Institute of Land Policy. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964574303321 996 $aFiscal decentralization and land policies$94471863 997 $aUNINA
