States are the key to contemporary government reform efforts in the
United States, but we know very little about their relative
effectiveness at resource allocation and their actual capacity to
absorb additional fiscal and managerial responsibilities. This
path-breaking study examines state budget offices as institutional
actors, with special attentio to the role of budget examiners.
Drawing on empirical findings from field studies of eleven states
in the American heartland, the authors demonstrate how budgeting at
the state level has become more policy-oriented, requiring complex
decision making by budget analysts. The incrementalist model of
budgetary decision-making thus gives way to a multiple
rationalities model. The authors illustrate the decision-making
model with the story of two office examiners who have distinctly
different orientations as they begin their work, and contrast the
different decision nationalities that come into play for them at
different points in a typical budget cycle. The book includes a
comprehensive bibliography of historical and modern writings on
state budgeting operations, activities, and decision-making; state
budgeting cycles; and the state-level policy development process.
