Abstract

Presidential impoundment authority has been given extensive attention in the budgeting literature. Little research, however, has examined impoundment powers at the state level. This research note is an exploratory study of impoundment powers at the state level, focusing primarily on gubernatorial rescission authority. We use a survey of executive budgeting officers to examine the structure, use, and effectiveness of impoundment powers in the states. We find that gubernatorial impoundment authority is generally used to maintain balanced budgets during times of revenue shortfall. We also find that impoundments do not serve as a particularly effective policy mechanism for most governors.

州一级的蓄水

在预算编制文献中，总统的扣押权得到了广泛的关注。然而，很少有研究审查州一级的扣押权。本研究报告是对州一级的蓄水权的探索性研究，主要关注于州长的撤销权。我们对执行预算官员进行了调查，以检查各州扣押权的结构、使用和有效性。我们发现，在财政收入不足的情况下，通常会使用州际蓄水权来维持预算平衡。我们还发现，对大多数州长来说，扣押并不是一种特别有效的政策机制。

期刊介绍： The American Review of Public Adminstration (ARPA) aspires to be the premier academic journal in the field of public affairs and public administration. As a peer-reviewed journal with the combined goals of advancing the knowledge of public administration and improving its practice, ARPA features articles that address rapidly emerging issues in public administration and public affairs and is open to both traditional and nontraditional apporaches. ARPA has no methodological bias other than a preference for an analytical approach to the issue(s) being addressed. Of particular interest are theory-based empirical research, commentaries on pressing issues, reviews or syntheses of research, and conceptual/theoretical discussions on or over the boundaries of traditional public administration.
