  • Policy punctuations: U.S. Budget Authority, 1947-1995
    The Journal of Politics, 1998
    Co-Authors: Bryan D. Jones, Frank R. Baumgartner, James L. True
    Abstract:

    Baumgartner and Jones (1993) described a process of punctuated equilibrium in their study of policymaking in the United States since World War II Evidence was drawn from a series of particular issue-areas, but the model has implications for all areas of policymaking In this paper, we explore the validity of this approach with a new dataset that tabulates congressional Budget Authority at the Office of Management and Budget subfunction level across all areas of the federal Budget for the entire postwar period We find that government spending is characterized by much greater change than is typically portrayed in the literature, even if there is great stability for most categories most of the time In addition, overall patterns of spending have been affected by two large-scale punctuations These punctuations divide national spending into three epochs one of postwar adjustment, lasting until FY 1956; one of robust growth, lasting from 1956 through 1974, and one of restrained growth, beginning in FY 1976 We tes...

  • Is The National Budget Controllable
    Public Budgeting Finance, 1995
    Co-Authors: James L. True
    Abstract:

    Previous scholarly analyses of national spending have shown a penchant for incre-mentalism in interpreting changes. They have also focused almost exclusively on annual national outlays or annual expenditures. This article argues that, in many cases, Budget Authority figures provide a better basis for analyzing the national Budget. The author gathered annual Budget Authority (BA) figures from fiscal years 1969 to 1993 and used this BA data for an empirical test of Budget controllability. If the national Budget has or has not been controlled in the recent past, then it should help us to judge whether or not it is controllable now. Five potential major Budget interventions from fiscal year 1980 to 1993 were tested using an interrupted time-series and two regression models. Different intervention results are anticipated depending upon whether one has a policy perspective that is incrementalist, international systemic, or domestic political. The analysis provides more support for the domestic political perspective than for incrementalist or international systemic views. Budget Authority was found to be superior to outlays for linking Budget results to policy decisions. The national Budget responded appropriately to policy decisions in the recent past. In this sense, the Budget was controlled and we should view it as controllable.

  • congressional delegation of spending power to the defense department in the post 9 11 period
    Public Budgeting & Finance, 2005
    Co-Authors: Philip J Candreva, L R Jones
    Abstract:

    The advantages of increased delegation of resource management Authority by Congress have long been argued by defense leadership. It is an important issue because of its relevance to congressional assessment of defense management, Budget priorities, and how to enforce policy preferences. This paper investigates the series of supplemental appropriations for the war on terrorism to determine (a) under what conditions, and how and why Congress delegates Budget Authority to defense, (b) what happened with respect to the degree of delegation after appropriation during Budget execution, and (c) what this case teaches us about the evolving Budgetary relationship between Congress and the Defense Department.
