Review
. . . this compilation of articles to fiscal federalism and local finance is of highest quality and a must for each scholar interested in this field. Moreover, it is edited by Wallace Oates who is the father of the analysis of fiscal federalism. Thus, it is no surprise that the book contains the most outstanding classical papers in the field. All in all, this selection of papers is the best that can be drawn from the literature. . . . this volume . . . has been published right in time to set the pace for the future. --
