Similarly, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has highlighted the critical role of subnational capacity for the effective delivery of public investment programmes and grants, given that economic development policies are usually administered by subnational governments and because capacity is critical for improving policy coordination, strategic planning, project selection, expertise and learning (OECD, Citation2013, Citation2014, Citation2016, Citation2018). The literature on federalism and intergovernmental relations in the US context has long recognized that the capacity of subnational governments is critical for good performance in federal, state and local authorities, and for the effectiveness of these jurisdictions in accessing and spending intergovernmental grants (reviewed by Carley et al., Citation2015 Nicholson-Crotty, Citation2015). The importance of subnational quality of government for public sector performance is increasingly appreciated by policymakers and scholars, but remains understudied. ![]()
