Exploring the Impact of Decentralization on Public Service Delivery in Pakistan, with a Focus on Local Governance should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Beyond the authors' own prior work, there is no other empirical evidence on the effects of the Dodd-Frank Act on the private fund industry.
