There is no complete overview or discussion of the literature of the economics of federalism
and fiscal decentralization, even though scholarly interest in the topic has been increasing
significantly over recent years. This paper provides a general, brief but comprehensive overview
of the main insights from the literature on fiscal federalism and decentralization. In doing
so, literature on fiscal federalism and decentralization is grouped into two main approaches:
“first generation of theories” and “second generation of theories”.
