Abstract:
In any given year, some areas of a state’s budget experience little change while other areas suffer dramatic cuts or undergo massive increases. What explains such a pattern? The aim of this research is to determine the causal factors behind budget punctuations (i.e. the occurrence of incremental and large scale fiscal change) in American states. We analyze the institutional constraints producing budget punctuations at the US state level using maximum likelihood estimation on panel data from 1983 to 1999. We argue that a governor’s agenda setting and veto powers increase budget punctuations because institutionally strong governors are able to mold budget requests in the image of their preferences and fend off legislative alternatives.
