The main factors of fiscal decentralization stated in the article are of special interest in the role of economic geography. The geographical territories like European Union facing regional economic divergences will be more decentralized in fiscal policy. Article uses specifications of economic geography to examine the factors of fiscal decentralization and its effects of development factors which can be GDP or institutional factors like sub-national expenditures, legislation, politics, unemployment, safety or other social factors.
