Toward co-creation
Purpose Few analyses evaluate how institutional arrangements for climate participatory budgeting (CPB) lead to co-creation, especially in the context of the United States. This study examines two questions: (1) To what extent do public finance institutions, such as climate-related earmarked funding mechanisms and climate budgeting and investment platforms, facilitate co-creation; and (2) How do institutional environments shape these co-creation d…
Transportation Governance Under Fiscal Stress
This study examines whether a state transportation/highway commission (STC) shapes state highway expenditure decisions, particularly during periods of fiscal stress. Using panel data covering 2006–2020, the results show that STCs exert limited influence on highway capital and routine maintenance spending during fiscally constrained periods but play more significant roles in shaping highway capital spending decisions in normal fiscal years. In add…
The impact of intergovernmental fiscal tools on local service decision
This study examines the impact of federal funding on local spending for water and wastewater infrastructure (hereafter 'W&WI') in Nebraska. The recent deterioration of W&WI creates potential risks to citizens' lives. The federal government operates several programmes to assist with W&WI improvements. However, funding is limited, while there are substantial demands for funding. To understand the fiscal impact of intergovernmental aid on local expe…
Funding Mechanisms for State Road Maintenance
The deferred maintenance practices for road infrastructure will result in increasing life-cycle costs and deteriorating economic productivity. Governments have addressed the issue by expanding revenue sources, but we don’t know much about the revenue allocation mechanisms. This research reviewed 50 states’ constitutions and statutes to find the similarities and differences in the institutional features of the funding mechanisms for road maintenan…
Don’t Pass Deferred Maintenance Costs to the Next Generation! The Effects of Politics on State Highway Maintenance Spending
Routine maintenance spending for public infrastructure is critical for reducing life-cycle costs, and improving asset preservation and quality. Yet, states focus more on building new roads and expansion than maintaining existing assets’ conditions. Deferred maintenance costs are transferred to the future taxpayers, and they will eventually pay the expensive price. So far, there is little academic endeavor to examine the determinants of state and …
Asset Maintenance Practices and Challenges in U.S. Counties
This study explores capital asset maintenance practices and challenges in U.S. counties, which have been understudied in previous public administration research. We also compare the current practices with those found in the 2001 Government Performance Project (GPP) analysis. Interviews with 20 officials in 12 counties revealed six themes. Four of these are concerned with maintenance challenges: the economic environment, politics, human resources,…
Does the Stringency of State Tax and Expenditure Limitations Discourage Political Manipulation in Fiscal Reserves
This article examines how state tax and expenditure limitations (TELs) affect the size of fiscal reserves over election cycles. Using a panel data set of 47 U.S. states from 1986 to 2013, we find that the persistent pattern of electoral cycles in general fund balances (GFBs) disappears in states with stricter TELs. Regarding a budget stabilization fund balances (BSFs), the preelection and election downward effect diminishes and becomes statistica…
