portuguese net borrowing and the Government Budget balance a sam approach
2004Co-Authors: Susana SantosAbstract:An aggregated Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for Portugal in 1998, based on the country’s national accounts statistics, was used to extract the Budget balance of the Government subsectors and its components, as well as the net borrowing of the economy as a whole. The importance of the central Government’s capital balance for this latter item is identified, whilst the calculated accounting multipliers and their components make it possible to identify those items whose changes can contribute most towards improving the situation. For this reason, both the normal and transposed SAM are modelled, and structural path analysis is used for the decomposition of the calculated multipliers.

Factors Explaining Public Participation in the Central Government Budget Process
Australian Journal of Public Administration, 2016Co-Authors: Ana-maría Ríos, Bernardino Benito, Francisco BastidaAbstract:This paper attempts to examine which factors explain public participation in the Budget process in an international comparative approach. In particular, we investigate which socioeconomic, institutional, and political factors promote public engagement in the central Government Budget process. Using a sample of 93 countries, our results indicate that Internet penetration, population diversity, Governmental financial situation, and Budget transparency determine opportunities for public engagement in the central Government Budget process. In addition, we show that not only Budget transparency promotes public participation but also public participation is necessary to enhance Budget transparency.

Determinants of Central Government Budget Disclosure: An International Comparative Analysis
Journal of Comparative Policy Analysis: Research and Practice, 2013Co-Authors: Ana-maría Ríos, Bernardino Benito, Francisco BastidaAbstract:Abstract This paper attempts to identify the socio-economic, political and institutional determinants of central Government Budget disclosure, both through the Internet and other media. It builds Budget disclosure indicators based on the International Budget Partnership questionnaire for 93 countries. The findings show that Internet penetration, education level, relative central Government size, Budget surplus, administrative culture, political competition and incumbents' ideology determine central Governments' Budget disclosure. A cluster analysis finds three groups of countries: high, medium and low level of Budget disclosure.

central Government Budget practices and transparency an international comparison
Public Administration, 2007Co-Authors: Francisco Bastida, Bernardino BenitoAbstract:From an international perspective, a relationship between public sector transparency and better economic and social outcomes is something that is increasingly acknowledged. In terms of lack of transparency in Budget reports both bureaucratic model and fiscal illusion theory have been argued as explanations. To assess transparency in Budget practices we analyse to what extent a sample of 41 countries are meeting OECD requirements according to its Best Practices for Budget Transparency document (OBP). We find an average OBP fulfilment of 56.4 per cent. Transparency is negatively correlated with corruption and positively correlated with economic development. Countries receiving external financial and technical support meet fewer OBP recommendations than countries not receiving it. Considering the political framework, both progressive and conservative Governments reach similar transparency levels. OECD members do not significantly fulfil more OBP suggestions than non-members. In respect of 4 variables: transparency, corruption, democracy and development, four clusters of countries arise: top-performing, low transparency-developed, low transparency-developing and worst-performing.

Correlations Analysis of Airport Sustainability and Local Government Budget
International Journal of Integrated Engineering, 2018Co-Authors: Mohd Ikhwan Setiawan, Iswachyu Dhaniarti, Cholil Hasyim, Wahyu Mahendra T Atamaja, Wayhu Mulyo Utomo, Sugeng SugengAbstract:The development of a public private partnership business centre in the region, particularly in the airport area, will improve regional economic equity. This study aims to analyse the correlation between airport sustainability and local Government Budget in Indonesia. The method used in this research is mixed method research. The results indicate that a cooperation agreement between the local Government and the airport management will generate mutual benefits for both parties. Airport managers can improve their services to consumers and local Governments receive contributions during the term of the agreement. Based on the T-Value Test Result, the T-value for the Airport Performance variable is 0.694. T-Value Test Results and compared with T-table equal to 1,976 (significant level 0,05) hence T-count
