On modeling a planning, programming and budgeting system.
Abstract
A model of the planning and programming aspects of a PPB system is
formulated. It incorporates the component parts of a PPB system structure
and the multiplicity of benefit and cost measures, both commensurable
and incommensurable, so associated. Decision rules characterizing the
choice of an efficient program package are derived. These rules indicate
the usefulness of a program package numeraire. The comparative
statics technique is applied and efficiency substitution and benefit
effects derived. A program package cost-benefit function is developed.
For a given program package decision, the expansion-contraction paths are
also derived and characterized.
