      abstract = {This book is the first comprehensive, full-scale treatment  of the politics, law, and economics with regard to the  policies and policy instruments for budget stabilization at  the local level. It examines budget stabilization in the  United States from the 1910s to 2010 (from adoption of  public budgeting in this country through the Great  Recession). In addition, it provides details on the methods  and results of empirical tests of the effects of budget  stabilization instruments on government operations,  key/basic services provision, and some other aspects of  social and economic life at the local level, including  full-purpose governments (county, metro city, municipality,  township, and village) as well as special (single-) purpose  governments (like school districts and transportation  districts). This book dissects an important and pressing  issue in public financial administration, analyzes a lesson  that has been in the learning process, especially in the  United States, and identifies theoretical threads for  scholarly refinement, which will be put into specific  contexts of policy design and implementation. This book  will be of interest to scholars in political science,  economics, public choice and in public administration,  where it will also appeal to policy-makers.},
