Review of Revenue Analysis of Four Budgets

Public Budgeting: A Revenue Analysis of Four Budgets A Revenue Analysis of Four Budgets A set of four budgets is analyzed with an eye on the revenue compositions and estimation. Although the distinct domains and different levels of aggregation posit some challenges in terms of the two-way transferability, the largely similar items, in the case of federal, state, and local budgets, reveal enough structural complementarities so as to suggest they best serve when addressed simultaneously. The agency budget, however, appears as much orthogonal vis-a-vis the hierarchy as it does contribute to the broader developmental agenda without featuring either the conventional earnings as part of a standalone revenue base or the independent and self-sustained set of objectives.
