“…In addition to multivariate regression (Franklin, 2002;Ho & Ni, 2005;Melkers & Willoughby, 2005), other empirical methodologies, such as cluster analysis, time series regression, and structural equation modeling have also been used (Handley & Howell-Moroney, 2010;Lee & Wang, 2009;Lu, 2011) . However, statistical modeling is still not a dominant methodology.…”

Since the passing of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) of 1993, the past 20 years represent one of the most remarkable eras for performance budgeting initiatives in the United States. As a result, many studies about this tool have also been conducted and published. Based on a systematic review of articles on performance budgeting-related research in major journals in the ten years between 2002 and 2011, this study assesses how performance budgeting research has evolved over time, reviews its accomplishments, and suggests a few directions for future studies, such as the need to control for different intervening factors to establish causality, the need for more coherent theoretical frameworks to guide empirical work and structure the relationship between causal factors, and the need for methodological diversity. We also present a few long-standing questions of performance budgeting that future studies may revisit carefully.

“…The first is the literature on CDBG and the spatial distribution of funds. Work on CDBG has examined the program's origins and a somewhat coarser geographic targeting (Rich, 1993), the extent of citizen participation (Handley & Howell-Moroney, 2010), equity in allocations (Collins & Gerber, 2008), the impact of CDBG funds on neighborhood outcomes (Galster, Walker, Hayes, Boxall, & Johnson, 2004), and the impact of federal funds on local spending (Brooks & Phillips, 2010;Brooks et al, 2011;Handley, 2008). 2 Our work also relates to the economics literature on "tagging," or the earmarking of funds to need.…”

“…Public administration scholars have identified a number of important determinants of public participation in administrative decision making (e.g., Alkadry 2003;Ebdon 2000;Handley and Howell-Moroney 2010;Moynihan 2003;Roberts 1997;2008;Thomas 1990;1995;Wang 2001;Yang and Callahan 2007;Yang and Pandey 2007), yet some critical links have remained understudied. One such link pertains to the characteristics of agency constituents and the type of policies directed at them.…”

Why are some government agencies more open to public input than others? Although many agree about the normative desirability of involving citizens in administrative decision making, there is significant variation across agencies in the extent of public participation. This article investigates the conditions under which public managers solicit greater public participation. We argue that, in addition to normative rationales, participation also serves instrumental considerations related to agency constituency. We draw on a rich body of literature examining participation in the policy process to develop empirically testable hypotheses about the patterns of participation in the administrative decision making of public agencies. Using data on the approaches to gathering citizen input in the budget process at four state departments-environmental protection, transportation, child protective services, and corrections-we find that the characteristics of target populations (namely, their political power and social construction) are strong predictors of an agency's openness to the public.
