DOES PERFORMANCE MATTER? A STUDY OF STATE BUDGETING

Michael Connelly and Gary L. Tompkins

Review of Policy Research, 1988, vol. 8, issue 2, 288-299

Abstract: This study examines the relationship between measures of expenditures and personnel on executive decision making on the budget in Missouri, FY 1979–1985. Specifically, it focuses on the interaction of “macro” and “micro” variables in the governor's budget recommendations, as demonstrated by revealing the conditions under which correlations between expenditures and personnel recommendations are weak and strong. The results indicate that attention to dollars is not enough to explain state policy decisions and that strong correlations are not automatic between the measures, which are influenced by internal as well as external constraints.
