Description

From the characterization of Local Authority financing models and structures in Portugal and Slovenia, a set of financial and generic budget indicators has been established. These indicators may be used in a comparative analysis considering, in Portugal, the Bragança District and, in Slovenia, municipalities of similar population size. The research identified significant differences, in terms of financing sources due to some discrepancy on financial models and competences of municipalities on each country.
