The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of the policy of fiscal decentralization on the economic inequality in the provinces of Iran during the period of 2001-2015. Most studies in Iran have assessed the impact of fiscal decentralization on economic growth positively, but whether or not fiscal decentralization affects the distribution of economic inequalities in provinces is the question that the present study seeks to answer. The inequality index of the Population-Weighted Coefficient of Variation (PW-CV) shows that Iran's provinces during the research period have had a very disproportionate economic distribution. The results of estimating Spatial Autoregressive with Autoregressive Error (SARAR) regression models indicate a strong spatial dependency among the provinces; the inequality index of each province with an approximate coefficient of 37% is affected by the economic inequality in the neighborhood provinces. The coefficients of the decentralization of expenditure, construction and revenue variables have positive and significant effects on economic inequalities. So, it can be said that fiscal decentralization increases regional inequality. Also, the government size indicator indicates an increase in inequality if the provincial budget share increases relative to the gross domestic product per capita. The impact of the decentralization policy in the developed provinces shows that the higher the per capita GDP of the provinces is, the further fiscal decentralization will increase economic inequality.
