Abstract
Due to varying local revenue collection capacities and interest group activities, revenue decentralization (RD) may lead to increased inequality. This paper provides empirical evidence, however, that, if coupled with good governance, RD could improve income distribution. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
