Non-market forces, the nation state and the European Union

Auteur :
MACKAY, R.R.

Description :
There is nothing surprising about regional inequality. Markets are inherently restless. Prosperity can be cumulative. Any tendency to regional convergence may owe much to non-market forces - tax and public expenditure patterns which benefit poorer regions. The paper explores the nature, scale and impact of fiscal(regional) transfer within the nation state. It also considers the puzzle of absence of effective transfer within the European Community.
