“…Many studies on public budgeting have employed PET to examine and explain the occurrence of budget punctuations across diverse circumstances. For example, studies have investigated budgetary changes in democratic and highly centralized political systems across four distinct countries (Baumgartner et al, 2017), examined Nepalese budget punctuation patterns under various political changes and economic challenges (Guragain & Lim, 2019), analyzed Macao's budgetary punctuation patterns before and after its transition to Chinese control (Li et al, 2022), discussed how the Eurozone crisis and the pandemic acted as triggers for Italian budget punctuation (Cavalieri, 2023), and extended the PET literature to explore the impacts of political and institutional changes on the directions and frequencies of budget punctuation (Myaing & Lim, 2023). This study also uses PET to examine how the different patterns of budget changes affected public service performance before and after Myanmar's budget reform.…”

A public budget consists of financial input for implementing governmental operations. It is generally expected that financial resources will increase organizational performance because they can be used to obtain other types of resources. This study aims to make a theoretical contribution to the punctuated equilibrium theory literature by examining how the different patterns of budget changes affected the competing dimensions of public service performance (3Es: efficiency, effectiveness, and equity) before and after the Myanmar budget reform in 2011. We collected a two-level dataset including budget allocation data at the ministry level and public service providers’ perceptions of performance at the individual level and employed multilevel modeling. Our results show that the effectiveness of public services can be improved by increasing a significant amount of budget allocation (positive punctuations), but this has no effect on efficiency or equity. However, any level of budget reduction can decrease the efficiency and equity of public services.

“…(e.g., Andersson et al, 2022). Furthermore, the pandemic was center-stage in governments' concerns about budgetary policies (Cavalieri, 2023). Many countries have indeed had to switch to expansionary fiscal policies, increasing government expenditure to properly tackle the pandemic's impact on social protection, particularly health (e.g., Hale et al, 2021).…”

Ruling in turbulent times: government crises in Italy and Israel during the COVID-19 pandemic

2023

COVID-19 constitutes an unprecedented exogenous shock for democratic political systems across the globe. During this turbulent period, Italy and Israel have also experienced a government crisis. Building upon the “coalition life cycle” and the “critical events” approaches to government stability, this article explores the trajectories of the government crises in Italy and Israel in times of COVID-19. The article examines the impact of the cabinets' structural attributes and the pandemic in relation to the governments' early termination. In both countries, the oversized coalition configuration of the cabinets led to conflicts between the governing parties, which became untenable during the pandemic crisis, thus precipitating the governments' collapse.
