 Provincial bank privatization in Argentina: The why, how and "so what?" / Clarke, George R.G.

One of the key questions that arise in discussions of education decentralization, is how federal education resources should be allocated among the various states, and within states, among communities or schools. In general, there are two approaches: (1) bilateral negotiations between the federal government and states with little transparency as to [...]

 Monitoring targeting performance when decentralized allocations to the poor are unobserved / Ravallion, Martin
National antipoverty programs often rely heavily on provincial governments. The center targets poor provinces in the hope that they will reach their own poor.
