Budget Processes and Commitment to Fiscal Discipline

Year:    2019

Author:    von Hagen, Jürgen, Harden, Ian J.

Credit and Capital Markets – Kredit und Kapital, Vol. 52 (2019), Iss. 4 : pp. 527–536

Abstract

We present a framework of investigation into the political economy of the budget process. Our model suggests that institutional rules governing the budget process can be found to limit the importance of fiscal illusion. Empirical evidence supports that proposition. The choice of rules depends on the political environment as well as the dominant source of uncertainty in the budget process.
