Fiscal Decentralization and Routine Conflict in Indonesia
Fiscal Decentralization and Routine Conflict in Indonesia

Summary/Abstract: This study attempts to investigate whether fiscal decentralization is more effective to reduce routine conflict in provinces with good institutional quality. Our quantitative findings show that institutional quality does matter in explaining the fiscal decentralization – routine conflict nexus. In addition, both fiscal dependence and fiscal discretion are negatively and significantly correlated with the incidence of routine conflict and the deaths resulted from routine conflict. However, the qualitative results indicate that the phenomenon of elite capture occurs in every level of government.
