The Impact of Performance Budgeting on Public Spending in Germany's Laender
Description:
Derived from the international literature on experiences with performance budgeting five elements which constitute
performance budgeting as a comprehensive system can be identified in this book. This new definition is then applied
to the German state level in order to investigate whether performance budgeting is effective in Germany, in detail,
whether it actually leads to a reduction of public expenditure. With a survey in the state Ministries of Finance
and an individually constructed panel dataset, the impact of the German performance budgeting reforms on their
major aim, the enhancement of fiscal discipline, is empirically analyzed. The main result is that the potential of
expenditure savings is prolonged by the enormous investments in the beginning.
