AbstractIn the present study we compare Argentina?s intergovernmental transfers system with that ofother seven economies. We consider developed countries with fairly complex transfersschemes, Australia and Canada, federal countries of similar extension and income levels,Brasil, India and Mexico, and unitary countries with a transfer scheme for their subnationalterritories, Colombia and Spain. We estimate the economic, social and political determinantsof transfers using panel data for the period 2000-2014. Our main results show that there is agreat ammount of heterogeneity between countries, as well as between transfers.
