This new definition is then applied to the German state level in order to investigate whether performance budgeting is effective in Germany, in detail, whether it actually leads to a reduction of public expenditure. With a survey in the state Ministries of Finance and an individually constructed panel dataset, the impact of the German performance budgeting reforms on their major aim, the enhancement of fiscal discipline, is empirically analyzed. The main result is that the potential of expenditure savings is prolonged by the enormous investments in the beginning.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Gabler Verlag\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-12-12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783834934826\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-8349-3483-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 148cm x210cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 143\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Gabler Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47672903205004,"sku":"9783834934826","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783834934826.jpg?v=1776525733","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783834934826","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
