| Abstract: | This thesis examines the decompositions of public expenditure and investment between individual governmental levels in the Czech Republic for the period between 2017 and 2020, studies inequalities across municipalities in terms of public expenditure and its components and attempts to offer solutions to inefficiencies arising from high territorial fragmentation of the country. The results show that the role of subnational governments in public spending and investment decreased. Within the subnational level, some resources were allocated from municipal to regional governments. Expenditure per capita across municipalities follows a U-shaped curve, indicating that, for the smallest municipalities, costs tend to be relatively high, especially in the case of administrative expenditure. This issue could be mitigated by implementing policies that would incentivise merging small municipalities into larger ones. |
