  • Past and Future Budget Classics

    Open AccessIrene S Rubin, Irene RubinARTICLEPublic Administration Review2014Citada por: 24Referencias: 8

    This article summarizes the content of four classic articles on budgeting that have appeared in Public Administration Review, outlines some of the major changes in budgeting that have occurred since those authors wrote, and, based on those changes, offers a research agenda for the next set of budget classics

  • The Executive Budget in the Federal Government

    Open AccessRoy T Meyers, Irene S RubinARTICLEPublic Administration Review2011Referencias: 35

    This article reviews the history of executive budgeting in the United States a century after President William Howard Taft's Economy and Efficiency Commission proposed an executive budget. This history, the authors argue, does not suggest that giving more budget power to the president will improve budget outcomes. Instead, what is needed is more cooperation between the branches of government and a better‐educated public—goals that were shared by …

  • The Great Unraveling

    Open AccessIrene S Rubin, Irene RubinARTICLEPublic Administration Review2007Citada por: 14

    Since 1998, budgeting reforms at the federal level have unraveled extensively. The budget process has become ad hoc, fragmented, and opaque, balance has been elusive, and the failure to prioritize has become endemic. One cause was the mismatch between the budget process in 1998, which was designed to eliminate deficits, and the emerging budgetary surpluses of that time. A second contributing factor was the desire to reduce taxes while expenditure…

  • Budgeting for the Millenium

    Jim Smith, Mike Dougherty et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration Review1999

    The year 2000 is almost upon us. Figuring out the implications of the millennium for budgeters is an urgent task: This editorial lays out some likely scenarios. To budgeters used to thinking in terms of annual and biennial budgets, a millennial budget is a new concept. Millennial budgeting for some budgeters, especially in CBO, OMB, and GAO, means budgeting for the next 1000 years. They are already projecting thirty years out. What is another 970…

    Open AccessIrene S RubinARTICLEThe American Review of Public…1994Citada por: 5Referencias: 6

    An examination of the writings of the early budget reformers suggests a major break between the progressive era reform proposals in the early 1900s and the budget proposals of the Taft era conservatives beginning in 1912. Progressives favored expansionary, activist government; Taft conservatives wanted to shrink government. Progressives focused more on cost effectiveness; Taft conservatives focused more on efficiency and cost cutting. Progressive…

  • Budget Reform and Political Reform

    Irene S RubinARTICLEPublic Administration Review1992Referencias: 1

    Municipal budgeting, especially in larger cities, has changed over the last 20 years. A variety of tools like program formats, long-term revenue and expenditure projections, management-by-objectives (MBO), zerobased and target-based budgets, capital budgeting, and strategic planning have become commonplace (Poister and Streib, 1989). A surprisingly large number of cities are using some performance monitoring (Poister and Streib, p. 242

  • Budget Reform in St. Louis

    Irene S Rubin, Lana SteinARTICLEPublic Administration Review1990

    Budget reforms have washed over U.S. cities at odd intervals. In the 1880s and 1890s, budgeting began either in the controller's office or with a group of officials commonly called a Board of Estimate. In the early 1900s, the executive budget reforms took shape, with increasing authority for the formation of the budget proposal located in the mayor's office. In the late 1960s, the emphasis was more on program budgeting and technical analysis for …

  • Budget Theory and Budget Practice

    Irene S RubinARTICLEPublic Administration Review1990Referencias: 2

    Theory in budgeting, like much of public administration, has been of two kinds, descriptive and normative. Descriptive theory is based on close observation or participation in public sector activities. Theorists describe trends, sequences of events, and infer causes, paying attention to local variations as well as uniformities across cases. Normative theory-advice-may be based on a much narrower range of observations than descriptive theory and i…

  • Municipal Enterprises

    Irene S RubinARTICLEPublic Administration Review1988

    Public enterprises are business-type activities which are supported by or owned and run by government agencies, which set prices (fees) and charge for goods or services. Enterprises are different from other governmental services because they support themselves in whole or in part from fees or income they generate. Accounting for enterprises must record revenue generated by an entity, account realistically for expenditures, and apply the revenue g…

  • Economic Development Incentives

    Open AccessIrene S Rubin, Herbert J RubinARTICLEUrban Affairs Quarterly1987

    After establishing a way of classifying economic development incentives, this article examines four different explanations of why cities differ in their willingness to provide such incentives to encourage business growth. In order of explanatory power the explanations are citizen need, administrative capacity, fiscal stress, and the process of growth. Specific types of cities are more willing to use some incentives than others. Some underlying ru…

  • Structural Theories and Urban Fiscal Stress

    Open AccessIrene S RubinARTICLEUrban Affairs Quarterly1985

    This article compares neo-Marxist and public choice theories of urban fiscal stress with descriptive data about the generation and consequences of fiscal stress in a number of cities in the 1970s. Each theory was found to be only partly descriptive of real life events. To create a more complete description, I integrate commensurable elements of neo-Marxism and public choice theory with more contingent factors, such as political vulnerability to c…

  • Evaluation for Cutback Management in Small Cities

    Open AccessHerbert J Rubin, Irene S Rubin et al.ARTICLEPolicy Studies Journal1983Citada por: 2Referencias: 6

    Problems of undertaking applied research in small cities planning economic cutbacks are explored. Researchers face problems in balancing administrative and political pressures. Predetermined ideas held by members of the city council on how the city should cut back services might cause politicians to ignore the findings of the study. While the belief of department heads that the study was simply going to excuse cutbacks could cause difficulty in d…

    Open AccessCharles H Levine, Irene S Rubin et al.ARTICLEAdministration & Society1982Citada por: 5Referencias: 13

    This article presents a discussion of the preconditions necessary for managing a contraction. It examines the constraints operative in the public sector which exclude or limit the availability of the prerequisites for public managers to effectively manage retrenchment. Then it describes how a public organization without these prerequisites behaves under conditions of fiscal stress by using a multistage model of public sector contraction that incl…
