The „Barnett formula‟, which governs the transfer of block grant from the UK Treasury to the governments of Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to fund devolved services, is fatally flawed.

Three government size indicators are used to find out the different threshold points. The results show a non-linear relationship of the Armey curve in Iran, in which the threshold effects corresponding to total gove...
