    Chapter 2 outlines key principles of fiscal decentralization, as drawn from the academic literature, including: (1) the rationale for devolving service provision and financing responsibilities to subnational governments; (2) guidelines for assigning particular expenditures and revenues across levels of government; and (3) a framework for designing and allocating intergovernmental transfers. Implications for education sector decentralization are discussed.
