In a nutshell
- Fiscal transfers to states varied substantially over time and relied heavily on oil exports. As a result, the secession of the South was catastrophic.
- Per-capital transfers failed to address the substantial geographic differences in standards of living.
- Fiscal federalism can support rebuilding the State in Sudan, if it moderates existing disparities across states and empowers citizens to determine the composition and financing of local public goods.
