The impact of decentralization on the regional disparity of these states is also examined. The findings suggest that both policy measures have reduced the level of regional disparity. This study has also investigated the impacts of policy measures on regional income disparity within the clusters of states of similar income levels. Results suggest that both types of policy interventions have reduced regional disparity in low-income states, whereas only fiscal intervention is found significant in reducing regional disparity in middle-income state.
