Els efectes del dèficit fiscal sobre l'economia catalana

This paper analyses the tax deficit of Catalonia in comparison with other regions of Spain.
From the European standpoint, Spain may be viewed as a highly centralised State with federal
features. Public expenditure is approached differently according to regions and there are large
differences in its distribution. Monetary flows are used for this study instead of the beneficiary
method as an explanatory measure. In short, the State shows an asymmetric behaviour.
