contents Spanish regional public budget reactions to revenue gains: the dependence on the transfer system Toni Mora Estudios Territoriales Spanish regions Fiscal decentralization soft budget constraints Recent contributions to the literature on public choice have examined the effects of regional fiscal balances and restrictive decentralization mechanisms on the capability of regional governments to make expenditure decisions. This paper focuses on the Spanish regional case where decentralization was based on transfers. We question whether transfers from the central government were a driving factor for regional expenditures decisions. The results show that the propensity to make new decisions regarding current expenditures or investment as a reaction to additional transfers from the central government is low. 2009 artículo científico 1697-6223 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=50412489003 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=504 Urban Public Economics Review application/pdf Universidade de Santiago de Compostela Urban Public Economics Review (España) Num.10
