Patterns of Expenditure Development in Sweden, Norway and Denmark

B. Guy Peters and David Klingman

British Journal of Political Science, 1977, vol. 7, issue 3, 387-412

Abstract: It is probably accurate to say that one of the major growth areas in political science over the last decade has been the analysis of public expenditures. Beginning with what now seems prehistory and the original Dawson and Robinson article, a growing number of books and articles has sought to explain the growth of public expenditures, especially of expenditures on the social services. Despite the numerous criticisms of these studies, they have added immensely to the discipline's knowledge of public policy processes, if for no other reason than that the critics themselves have been forced to engage in the types of research that they believed were really necessary to determine the causes, processes and consequences of expenditure decisions.
