Budgeting for entitlements

OECD Journal on Budgeting, 2009, vol. 9, issue 2, 1-13

Abstract: An entitlement is a provision of law that establishes a legal right to public funds. In most OECD countries, entitlements were the principal growth area of public expenditure from the mid 1950s to the mid 1980s. This article discusses budgeting for entitlements under two rather different conditions: the expansion of this category of expenditure during the quarter century after World War II, and cutback and “status quo” budgeting during the decade since the first oil shock.By Allen Schick, University of Maryland, United States
