- Title
Towards a Theory of Public Budgetary Decision Making.
- Authors
Gerwin, Donald
- Abstract
This paper examines the process by which public administrators allocate financial resources. From the assumption that the administrator seeks to reduce conflict over the allocation of the budget, propositions are presented about revenue forecasts, appropriations for subunits, increases in compensation, and debt service. The propositions are compared to results of related research and, wherever possible, supporting evidence from a study of the budgetary process in a large, urban school district is presented.
