Anderson, Sarah E.

Who matters? Testing floor, party, and committee models of appropriations policy formation. - 139 p.

Adviser: David W. Brady.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2006.

The project also considers other political factors that influence the budget, an economic model of the budget, the role of public opinion, and the role of the President. Finally, the dissertation considers the predictions of the models when the reversion point zero assumption is relaxed and finds that the predictions of the pivot-based models do not fit the data. The general failure of the pivot-based models to apply across time and policy areas suggests that political scientists are far from developing a comprehensive model of budgeting.

520 # $a The project also considers other political factors that influence the budget, an economic model of the budget, the role of public opinion, and the role of the President. Finally, the dissertation considers the predictions of the models when the reversion point zero assumption is relaxed and finds that the predictions of the pivot-based models do not fit the data. The general failure of the pivot-based models to apply across time and policy areas suggests that political scientists are far from developing a comprehensive model of budgeting.
520 # $a This project assesses whether the process of policy formation is constant across policy areas and across time. The analysis tests the predictions of the preference-based pivotal politics model against the predictions of a committee-based model and a party-based model, using a unique dataset of appropriations from 1955-2002 that reconstructs the federal budget to make discretionary budget categories comparable across time. Although the models are usually taken to apply under all circumstances or none, the results vary among the policy areas of the environment, agriculture, and education and across time. An incremental model of the budget describes spending in the area of the environment. Education spending is influenced by presidential spending requests. Agricultural spending tracks with the median of the majority party before 1973, but not after.
