This is designed to promote good governance and even development. The delineation of powers into exclusive, concurrent and residual powers for the federal, state and local government and the allocation of funds to each tier of government underscores propriety of political interdependence to nation building. Section 165 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 and the Allocation of Revenue (Federation Account, etc.) Act No.1 1982 stipulates that the revenues generated by the federal government should be credited into the Federation Account and disburse monthly among the three tiers of government as defined in the Revenue Act 1982. All the tiers of government depend on revenue from the federation account to finance development projects. In spite of this, many state government are unable to finance their capital and recurrent expenditure hence the justification to review the existing revenue sharing formular in favour of them. The fiscal challenge raises question the viability of many states and the need to allocate more resources power to the lower tier governments to enhance their fiscal capability and operation efficiency.","PeriodicalId":116921,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Budgeting (Development) (Topic)","volume":"656 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116095029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two basic elements of any budget are the revenues and expenses. Government Budget is designed for best possible allocation of scarce resources taking into account larger economical and socio-political considerations. According to Aaron Wildavsky, a political scientist worked in government budgeting, public policy and risk management, budgets are political documents; the decisions that lead to the final budget are answers to central political questions, that is, \"who gets what and how.\" Budget is a document which provides the detailed plan of government for the coming financial year with the review of past and designed for the best possible distribution of resources. It is the financial reflection of the government and explains what it does and intends to do. The holistic view of budget has been a rare sight as the tool had not been available. Crystal maze is a framework to analyze Union Budget through various perspectives and provides different ways of looking at the budget and then the analysis can answer that ‘To which sector budget should be linked?’ This Crystal Maze concept has been proposed by Prof. Subhash Sharma in his article named, “Crystal Gazing for Budget Analysis: Seven Ways Framework of Looking at the Budget”. He has observed that everyone needs to understand the Union Budget through “The Budget Crystal”. This Crystal Maze Model takes a holistic view of the budget by looking at it from seven different perspectives viz Common Man, Sectoral, Corporate, Fiscal, Security, Development and Local Global.","PeriodicalId":116921,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Budgeting (Development) (Topic)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123609401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using data from the Eurobarometer Surveys and the European Quality of Life Survey, we employ a difference-in-difference research design combined with matching, based on entropy balancing, to identify the causal effects. Our results reveal that the mere announcement of austerity measures leads to an overall drop in life satisfaction among those working in the public sector. We also show that men, and especially married individuals, are most affected by the substantial wage cut announcement. Contrary to previous research, we find that public sector employees with higher levels of education are more likely to be affected by this policy communication compared to those with only secondary or primary levels of education.","PeriodicalId":116921,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Budgeting (Development) (Topic)","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116350901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our focus is on the municipality level of government. We use a dataset encompassing the main budget items of virtually all municipalities for the period 1999-2009 to perform panel estimation of the efficacy of local fiscal rules in terms of debt reduction and to detect possible unintended effects on investment spending. Empirical evidence supports the conclusion that the Italian system suffers from a lack of coordination between budget constraints and borrowing limits. Our main conclusion is that the decentralization process in Italy has not found an adequate solution yet: on the one hand, local administrations are not equipped to deal with the increased financial responsibility and the progressive sophistication of financial markets; on the other hand, central government has been inconsistent in devolving fiscal powers to municipalities while at the same time adopting multi-layered regulations to restrain local fiscal autonomy in order to pursue the overall public finance control.","PeriodicalId":116921,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Budgeting (Development) (Topic)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134590456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reform initiatives have provided basis to pursue further modifications to benefit from the changes. To achieve the intended objectives, the innovations should be accompanied by improvements in associated systems and processes. The performance orientation of the budgeting system requires developing credible performance information, integrating them in the budget decisions, and strengthening the performance management system. Second, the role of multi‐year expenditure planning for effective allocation of resources by countering the entrenched incrementalism in public budget has been acknowledged and the initial progresses need to be reinforced further to establish a credible MTBF system. Third, the desirable elements of next generation fiscal rules should be adopted to improve the effectiveness of the rule based budget management system.","PeriodicalId":116921,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Budgeting (Development) (Topic)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131967647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We analyze a model with two parties bargaining over the allocation to a public good each period. Parties place different values on the public good, and these values may change over time. We focus on budgetary institutions that determine the rules governing feasible allocations to mandatory and discretionary spending programs. Mandatory spending is enacted by law and remains in effect until changed, and thus induces an endogenous status quo, whereas discretionary spending is a periodic appropriation that is not allocated if no new agreement is reached. We show that discretionary only and mandatory only institutions typically lead to dynamic inefficiency and that mandatory only institutions can even lead to static inefficiency. By introducing appropriate flexibility in mandatory programs, we obtain static and dynamic efficiency. An endogenous choice of mandatory and discretionary programs, sunset provisions and state-contingent mandatory programs can provide this flexibility in increasingly complex environments.","PeriodicalId":116921,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Budgeting (Development) (Topic)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114349684","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Kotlikoff, Sergei Germanovich Sinelnikov-Murylev","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2600000","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2600000","url":null,"abstract":"Russian Abstract: Бюджетный разрыв (fiscal gap) представляет собой индикатор долгосрочной сбалансированности государственных финансов. Данный индикатор используется для того, чтобы оценить, в какой мере действующая фискальная политика позволяет сохранять устойчивость бюджета в многолетней перспективе. В основу его расчета положено межвременное бюджетное ограничение государства (intertemporal budget constraint), которое связывает доходы и расходы государственного бюджета на длительных временных интервалах. Величина бюджетного разрыва определяется как сумма текущей государственной задолженности и приведенной суммы будущих первичных дефицитов бюджета. Оценка бюджетного разрыва для расширенного правительства РФ выполнена в рамках трех сценариев, отличающихся заложенными в них предположениями о демографических тенденциях, темпах роста производительности труда, объеме запасов углеводородного сырья, ценах на нефть и природный газ и т.д. Во всех сценариях бюджетный разрыв оказывается положительным, что свидетельствует о том, что действующая фискальная политика не может обеспечить устойчивости государственных финансов в долгосрочной перспективе. Основными факторами бюджетных дисбалансов являются рост расходов на пенсионное и медицинское обслуживание, обусловленный демографическими тенденциями, а также сокращение роли поступлений от налогообложения нефтегазового сектора вследствие прогнозируемой стагнации добычи. Оценка величины бюджетного разрыва в базовом сценарии составляет 1613 трлн. руб. в ценах 2014 г. или 13,6% суммарной приведенной стоимости ВВП, что сопоставимо с оценками, выполненными для ряда развитых стран.

It is used for assessment of the extent to which current fiscal policy is able to keep government budget solvent in the longer period. Fiscal gap is derived from intertemporal budget constraint which connects flows of budget outlays and receipts aggregated along decades. Fiscal gap is defined as a sum of current government debt and present value of future primary deficit flow. In order to get an estimate of Russia’s general government fiscal gap we consider three scenarios which are based on different assumptions regarding demographic trends, productivity growth, extractable reserves of oil and natural gas, long term price of oil and natural gas etc. Estimated value of fiscal gap is positive in all three scenarios which implies that current fiscal policy cannot provide budget sustainability in the long run. There are two major factors of the budget imbalances: rising health and pension expenditures due to demographics trends and shrinking role of tax revenues from energy sector due to extraction stagnation. Fiscal gap value under intermediate scenario is equal to 1,613 trln 2014 rubles or 13.6% of present value of ","PeriodicalId":116921,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Budgeting (Development) (Topic)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133584045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Times of recession might be especially poor moments for reallocations of funds, as budget holders try to protect what they have. This pattern has not been investigated much in the literature.

Whether fiscal institutions have an effect on allocations is still unclear.Chile provides an opportunity to investigate both ideas. Using an interactive model, the paper finds that budget allocations were more rigid the less additional money was available, and that institutional reforms designed to increase flexibility managed to break the link between spending and reallocations, as well as having a significant and positive effect on the size of annual reallocations.","PeriodicalId":116921,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Budgeting (Development) (Topic)","volume":"179 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116160309","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
