Prior to the current crisis, US government revenue was roughly 60% federal and 40% state and local. France was the most centralized of the major economies, with roughly a 80%-20% split between the national and sub-national governments, while the United Kingdom falls in between, at 75%-25%.
与中央政府相比，次国家政府的地位存在极大变数。危机爆发之前，美国政府收入中约有 60% 流向联邦政府，州和地方政府分得 40% 。作为集权度最高的主要经济体，法国国家政府与次国家政府分别获得了 80% 和 20% ；英国位居其中，为 75% 和 25% 。中国的集权度最低，分别为 30% 和 70% 。阿根廷最为均衡，二者各占 50% 。
