지방재정의 개혁과 건전성 제고방안

Abstract

This study discusses some characteristics in trend and operation of local finance, and suggests some reform agenda for sound finance. While the share of local finance has decreased compared with that of national finance, local debt and inefficient operations of local expenditure have increased since 1995. This study seeks to find reform agenda of local finance on the basis of decentralization and participation. On the side of decentralization, reform of local tax system and financial management system are suggested. The introduction of consensus-based budgeting and taxpayers' suit are proposed on the part of citizen participation.
