Does performance change budgets? Punctuated equilibrium, performance, and the budget for juvenile justice in an American state
Purpose How performance informs budgeting and budgets is contentious and unclear. Applying punctuated equilibrium theory, this research seeks to understand if performance information once placed on the media and macropolitical agendas can lead to long-term budgetary shifts. This research highlights how the accumulation of performance information punctuated the funding scheme and created a new equilibrium over time. Design/methodology/approach Thi…
Risky Decisions Over Troubled Waters
Local governments will be forced to navigate uncertain sea level rise projections as they fight to protect their key infrastructure systems from rising seas. As leaders in their departments, public works directors must make key project prioritization decisions as seas rise. So, how do they navigate the risk and uncertainty of sea level rise? This study tests if public works directors’ prioritization decisions align with the predictions of cumulat…
What Drives Adaptation? Evidence from Sea Level Rise Planning in the Southeastern United States
Sea level rise (SLR) is anticipated to be one of the most disruptive impacts of climate change for coastal communities if adaptive measures are not taken. Conceptualizing adaptation to SLR as a staged process whereby governments first choose whether to address SLR and then determine how much to address it, we use a hurdle model to examine what drives local governments to plan for SLR. Results from eighty-five coastal counties in the southeastern …
Treading Water
We provide original research on planning for sea level rise (SLR) in the southeastern United States. Our analysis of 85 coastal counties finds that most are in the early stages, having recognized SLR as a general threat to their coastal communities. However, relatively few evidence comprehensive analysis of risk across their portfolio of infrastructure assets and service areas. Using a staged planning model, we find that strong information gather…
Staying Afloat
Climate change and sea level rise present significant risks to coastal governments’ fiscal and service solvency. Current lack of focus on climate change by the U.S. federal and some state governments pressures coastal governments to develop tractable solutions to manage localized risks. This research integrates adaptive governance and capital planning literatures to develop an adaptive risk management framework. Heeding the call for research of c…
