Improved fiscal efficiency allows for the development of a virtuous cycle of transparency, public engagement and budget supervision. The budget waste reporting system implemented in South Korea can be used as a case study example for building such a virtuous cycle. In fact, such a system does indeed help Korea achieve budget reductions. Academic studies in China on how to improve fiscal efficiency have so far centered on areas of transparency, public engagement and supervision. The budget waste reporting system implemented by Korea has demonstrated a virtuous cycle relationship among these systems and is thus of great significance. For the Chinese government, first priority to implementing such a system should be given to improving the system of information disclosure. This means that rather than simply disclosing the budget information, the public should be engaged in how to comprehend such disclosures. Not only can the implementation of such a system in China directly achieve budget cuts, it can also play an important role in improving fiscal transparency and household welfare.","PeriodicalId":127865,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy: Budget","volume":"361 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129031473","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}

Представлены три сценария развития образования до 2024 г., определены последствия и риски их реализации. Показано, что основными бенефициарами в получении бюджетных средств в прогнозном периоде являются дошкольное и общее образование. Среднее профессиональное образование проигрывает в бюджетном финансировании практически во всех вариантах прогноза. Что касается рисков развития системы образования то они, прежде всего, связаны с недофинансированием программ повышения квалификации педагогических работников, без которого невозможно ни обновление содержания образования, ни включение в образовательный процесс новых образовательных технологий, а также со слабым ростом в реальном выражении бюджетных расходов на прикладные научные исследования в области образования, поскольку именно научные исследования должны определить направления реформирования различных уровней образования и новые механизмы управления образованием в изменяющихся социально-экономических условиях, задать адекватное обновление содержания общего и профессионального образования. \u0000English Abstract: This paper builds a system of forecasts for the budget financing of the education system and its levels, as well as tasks to be solved in this area. Three scenarios for the development of education up to 2024 are presented, the consequences and risks of their implementation are determined. It is shown that the main beneficiaries in obtaining budget funds in the forecast period are pre-school and general education. Secondary vocational education loses in budget financing in almost all variants of the forecast. With regard to the risks of the development of the education system, it's primarily related to the underfunding of educational programs for teachers, without which it is impossible either to update the content of education, or to include new educational technologies in the educational process, as well as a weak growth in real terms of budget expenditures for applied scientific research in the field of education, since it is scientific research that should determine the direction of reforming the various levels of education and New mechanisms for managing education in changing socio-economic conditions, to set an adequate update of the content of general and professional education.","PeriodicalId":127865,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy: Budget","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125948026","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}

{"title":"Optimal Time-Consistent Monetary, Fiscal and Debt Maturity Policy","authors":"E. Leeper, C. Leith, Ding Liu","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2719457","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2719457","url":null,"abstract":"We develop a New Keynesian model with government bonds of mixed matu- rity and solve for optimal time-consistent policy using global solution techniques. This reveals several non-linearities absent from LQ analyses with one-period debt. Firstly, the steady-state balances an inflation and debt stabilization bias to gener- ate a small negative debt value with a slight undershooting of the inflation target. This falls far short of first-best (`war chest') asset levels. Secondly, starting from debt levels consistent with currently observed debt to GDP ratios the optimal pol- icy will gradually reduce that debt, but the policy mix changes radically along the transition path. At high debt levels there is a reliance on a relaxation of monetary policy to reduce debt through an expanded tax base and reduced debt service costs, while tax rates are used to moderate the increases in inflation. However, as debt levels fall, the use of monetary policy in this way diminishes and the authority turns to fiscal policy to continue debt reduction. This endogenous switch in the policy mix occurs at higher debt levels, the longer the average debt maturity. Allowing the policymaker to optimally vary debt maturity in response to shocks and across varying levels of debt, we find that variations in maturity are largely used to sup- port changes in the underlying time-consistent policy mix rather than the speed of fiscal correction. Finally, introducing a mild degree of policy maker myopia can re- produce steady-state debt to GDP ratios and inflation rates not dissimilar to those observed empirically, without changing any of the qualitative results presented in the paper.","PeriodicalId":127865,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy: Budget","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115421021","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 employ a unique representative public opinion survey of German households conducted in 2011. We find that a person’s desire to be informed about the ECB, together with the use of various media channels to keep informed, are decisive for both (i) the person’s perception of how much he or she knows about the ECB and (ii) the person’s actual knowledge. The media-related influence varies by level of education and is stronger for subjective knowledge. Women are significantly less interested in and knowledgeable about the ECB. We conclude that the ECB is not only well advised to continue with education programmes designed to convince the public of the importance of knowing about monetary policy, but to take the gender-specific differences into account in doing so.","PeriodicalId":127865,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy: Budget","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132073213","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}

Given the country’s recent exit from economic recession, the scandalous strides of N9 trillion NNPC contracts still awaiting clarifications and the incumbent administration’s recent claim of N1.3 trillion worth of Capital projects execution in 2016, the study intends to substantiate graphically the complementary impact nature of Nigeria’s budget expenditures and her economic performances in the post 1999 democratic dispensations towards appreciating judgmentally, the quality of accountability possibly upheld during this period in the light of exceptional incidences of questionable transparency in public service. This approach will help shed more light into possible implications obtainable given the trend of the nation’s economic growth as witnessed during the years covered. The annual GDP growth rate statistics, annual GDP achieved (in US$), the US to Naira exchange rates, and the annual national Budget of Nigeria (emphasis on Recurrent and Capital Expenditures) as published by the World Bank Group for the years 1999 – 2016 were all adopted and holistically subjected to professional evaluation and assessment using graphics/charts so as to boost readers’ understandability. Evidence from the statistics shows that Nigeria is yet to appreciate the place of accountability, transparency, and absolute compliance to due process in the achievement and sustenance of upward geared economic growth. Further graphical evaluations carried out reveals that while the country’s annual budget figures continued to rise in trillions of Naira especially in the recurrent expenditures, little of this acclaimed effort is felt by the economy and Nigerians, thus depicting possible tendencies of mismanagement of public funds, intransparenvy and poor accountability approach to the same. The study has as a result proffered several antigens to these visible lapses that has since 1999 left Nigeria struggling atop corruption perception index table of Transparency International (TI).","PeriodicalId":127865,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy: Budget","volume":"115 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128183520","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}

{"title":"Liquidity of Government of India Bonds: Trading Volume Based Analysis","authors":"K. Rathi, H. Pradhan","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3085134","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3085134","url":null,"abstract":"Objective: Bonds experience high trading volume right after their issuance. Outstanding amount of a bond is built by multiple follow on reissuances. Trading volume also picks up when bond is reissued. This paper investigates impact of bond’s age since issuance on its weekly trading volume. In addition it also investigates impact of trade size, outstanding amount, Foreign Institutional Investor (FII) trading, Repo rate volatility, Yield to Maturity volatility and Mumbai Interbank Offer Rate (MIBOR) volatility in the Indian context. Design, Methodology & Approach: This paper builds on Hong and Warga (2000), Kalimipalli and Warga (2002), and Diaz et. al. (2006). Non-linear regression is used to investigate exponential decay of weekly trading market share of 5, 10 and 30 Year bonds with respect to age. The model also explores linear relationship of other factors on the weekly trading volume. Findings: (This) Our research finds evidence of decay in trading with respect to bond age, reissuance and trade size. The model suggests two issuances of 5 year, three issuances of 10 Year and one issuance of 30 year bond per year for optimum trading volume in the Government of India (GoI) bond market. Implications: GoI publishes a tentative schedule with no indication of which tenure will be auctioned. This uncertainty impacts the trading as market lacks anticipation of maturity segments in the yield curve. A regular schedule of 5, 10 and 30 year bonds provides for better public debt management with enhanced trading liquidity and lower cost of public debt. Originality & Value: Literature review provides no evidence of similar study in Indian context. Hence it is the first study of this kind. This study provides a bond issuance approach for enhanced public debt management, market trading and lower cost of public debt. Research Limitations: Due to lack of data, over the counter (OTC) trades are not incorporated in the analysis. Inclusion of treasury bills trades in the model may provide better understanding of trading risk.","PeriodicalId":127865,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy: Budget","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129709250","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}
