摘要
This paper emphasises the role of the allocation of rents, between the levels of government within a federal economy, in the achievement of production efficiency. It is shown that in a federal economy, in the absence of vertical transfers, production efficiency dictates rents should be allocated to the upper (federal) level of government.
