This book examines budgeting by analyzing the local government budget as a complex system, thus adding a new dimension to traditional budget textbooks. It is designed to complement existing textsnot replaceby putting the budget in a complex system, general equilibrium framework. A complex systems framework adds to conventional budget analysis in at least four ways: It looks at the budget as the result of many variables that are outside the finance departments purview; it understands that there are multiple interdependences among these variables; it suggests analysis of non-obvious relationships among actions in the budget process in order to optimize results; and it argues that the actors in the process must understand that their budgetary behaviors have indirect and far-reaching implications that go beyond the budget document. Jeffrey Chapman joined the ASU faculty in 1999 as the Director of the School of Public Affairs after 26 years at the University of Southern California. After four years as Director, he was appointed as Interim Dean of the College of Public Programs. Chapman retired as an Emeritus Foundation Professor of Applied Public Finance in 2013. He is a member of the Arizona Economic Round Table and is on the Board of Directors of the Grand Canyon Institute. In 2017, the Association of Budgeting and Financial Management awarded him the Aaron Wildavsky lifetime achievement award for public budgeting and finance.
