Systematic Literature Review: The Influence of Regional Expenditure and Regional Revenue on Local Government Performance

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the impact of regional expenditure and revenue on local government performance. Conducted through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) of articles published from 2015 to 2024, the research identifies a strong positive correlation between regional expenditure, revenue, and the effectiveness of local governments. Literature analysis reveals that strategically allocated regional expenditure significantly enhances government program efficiency and infrastructure. For instance, proper management of regional spending results in a 25% increase in public service delivery effectiveness, evidenced by improved healthcare accessibility and educational facilities. Moreover, the study highlights that high levels of regional revenue provide substantial financial resources, enabling local governments to fund critical development projects. Statistical data from reviewed studies demonstrate a 30% improvement in infrastructure quality in regions with ample revenue, supporting urban development and enhancing public amenities such as transportation networks and recreational facilities. Overall, the research underscores that judicious management of regional finances positively impacts local government performance by enhancing governance efficiency and promoting sustainable development and improved public service delivery.
