National Economic Analysis of Devolution Outcomes
What has devolution delivered economically, and where does reform pay off?
The question
What has devolution delivered economically, and where does reform pay off?
What we did
We analysed the socio-economic effect of devolution, comparing counties with targeted interventions against comparison counties. We tracked the share of counties adopting recommended fiscal management reforms and modelled the fiscal gap closed.
Methods
- Difference-in-differences
- Comparison-group analysis
- Fiscal modelling
National government gained rigorous, comparative evidence on what devolution delivers and where reform pays off.
