  • Finance Managers' Propensity To Save

    Open AccessW Bartley Hildreth, Samuel J Yeager et al.ARTICLEJournal of Public Budgeting…2012

    This paper presents a model of government saving in order to examine several questions regarding the personal and professional saving preferences or inclinations of a national sample of local government finance managers.

Second, is personal propensity to spend related to the finance managers' opinions about their local government's spending? Third, what are…

    Open AccessJonathan B Justice, Gerald J MillerARTICLEThe American Review of Public…2010Cited by: 1References: 18

    New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) provides transportation infrastructure and services to nearly 15 million residents of two states. In 2002, the MTA violated a strong professional norm of debt management by refinancing $13 billion of long-term debt in a way that increased rather than decreased the cost of repayment. This behavior, heavily influenced by the informal advice of investment bankers, seemed to many observers to con…

  • Auction off the farm

    Open AccessDonijo Robbins, Gerald J MillerARTICLEJournal of Public Budgeting…2006

    Local public officials rely on tax and non-tax incentive packages to develop their economies. No conclusive evidence supports the economic improvement incentives afford. We investigate, with an experimental approach, the political reasons public officials use tax incentives. The experiment uses simulation gaming to model local economic development as an auction, in that way permitting us to compare the impact that motives, goals, and contexts hav…

  • How Financial Managers Deal with Ethical Stress

    Open AccessGerald J Miller, Samuel J Yeager et al.ARTICLEPublic Administration Review2005References: 15

    This article explores the way public-sector financial managers cope with ethical challenges created by undue political pressure and demands for special treatment. A nationwide survey of financial managers revealed that fiscal stress exacerbates ethical pressure for most financial managers, including chief financial officers (CFOs) and those who report to CFOs. Financial managers do not work in an ethical vacuum; they respond to supervisors who en…

    Gerald Miller, Gerald J MillerARTICLEPublic Administration Review1995

    n a defense of their textbooks perspective, Reed and Swain argue that 1. There are different perspectives among textbooks in financial management, generally economics, accounting, and budget execution. 2. The perspective a textbook takes is a product of not only authors view but also marketing decisions in which authors participate. 3. The market for financial management texts is segmented on various dimensions, including conceptual/applied, stud…
