Abstract: Political dynamics are likely to proceed according to more general laws of human dynamics and information processing, but the specifics have yet to be outlined. Here we begin this task by examining public budgeting in comparative perspective. Budgets quantify collective political decisions made in response to incoming information, the preferences of decision-makers, and the institutions that structure how decisions are made. Most models to date stress preferences (organized by political parties) almost exclusi… Show more

“…The hypothesis has been confirmed in an increasing number of comparative studies of government budgets (and legislative change), which highlight a huge number of small changes in each policy category ('hyperincrementalism'), combined with a small number of huge changes (True et al, 2007: 166;Jones and Baumgartner, 2005: 8;18;Baumgartner et al, 2009;Jones et al, 2009). The extent to which this approach departs profoundly from Lindblom's (1959;1979) discussion of incrementalism is still an open question (see for example Baumgartner and Jones, 2009: 251).…”

“…What could explain this variation? Previous research has demonstrated a correlation between institutional friction and leptokurtic distributions in outputs Jones et al 2009). In line with H2, we proceed to test if the same association can be found in our data.…”

“…Rather than engaging in point prediction of individual punctuations, this approach recognizes punctuations based on the characteristics of frequency plots of annual changes in agenda attention (Jones 2005;Jones et al 2009). To generate year-to-year change distributions, we calculated the percentagepercentage shift in policy-making attention for each year between 1980 and 2015.…”

“…Sob essa perspectiva, os orçamentos públicos quantificariam decisões políticas coletivas assumidas em resposta aos recursos disponíveis, às preferências dos tomadores de decisão e às instituições que estruturaram as soluções finais (ACOSTA; DE RENZIO, 2008;JONES et al, 2009;STEIN, 2009). Portanto, os resultados do processo orçamentário, nas suas diferentes fases -elaboração, aprovação e execução -, poderiam ser analisados como medidas visíveis do peso da influência dos diferentes atores que participaram do processo decisório (GOOD, 2014), isto é, daqueles que tiveram o poder de controlar as decisões finais (WILDAVSKY;CAIDEN, 2004).…”
