Budget Constrained Frontier Measures of Fiscal Equality and Efficiency in Schooling
In this paper we employ a cost indirect output distance function to model school district technology and measure performance. This function has the advantage of readily modeling multiple output production where that production is subject to a budget constraint. It also provides a natural measure of performance which is closely related to Fanell type measures of efficiency. We use this distance ...

متن کاملThe efficiency of resource allocation mechanisms for budget-constrained users
We study the efficiency of mechanisms for allocating a divisible resource. Given scalar signals submitted by all users, such a mechanism decides the fraction of the resource that each user will receive and a payment that will be collected from her. Users are self-interested and aim to maximize their utility (defined as their value for the resource fraction they receive minus their payment). Sta...
متن کاملPolitical Budget Cycles and Fiscal Decentralization∗
In this paper, we study a model à la Rogoff (1990) where politicians distort fiscal policy to signal their competency, but where fiscal policy can be centralized or decentralized. Our main focus is on the equilibrium probability that fiscal policy is distorted in any region, which we call the probability of a Political Budget Cycle (PBC). With centralization, there is the possibility of selecti...
متن کاملBudget - Constrained
We study optimal procurement mechanisms for a financially constrained buyer subject to ex post incentive compatibility and individual rationality. In our setup, a buyer who has a fixed budget wishes to purchase a homogeneous product up to a maximum demand amount. We characterize the optimal mechanism when the budget constraint always binds and when the maximum demand constraint always binds. Wh...
