Together, these contributions inform a multifaceted, nuanced argument for the need to formalize spending restraint and redefine state debt to include unfunded liabilities. Scholars will find the book useful as a reference tool explaining how rules-based fiscal policy is used to address debt fatigue and unsustainable spending growth. Legislators and practitioners will find the book useful as a reference source in designing and simulating second generation fiscal rules, and educators will find the book helpful for its close analysis of policies in representative states such as Illinois, New York, New Jersey, Nebraska, and California.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe analyses in this volume are applicable to all levels of government, especially for difficult conceptual issues, e.g. recognition of unfunded liabilities, right-sizing budget stabilization funds, regulatory budgeting, asset\/liability valuation, and design of the essential budget constraint.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Marvin Phaup, George Mason University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I State Debt and Fiscal Stabilization\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1 State Debt and Liabilities: A Holistic Approach\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2 U.S. State Debt Defaults and Constitutional Reform in Historical Perspective\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3 Pension Liability Stress for State Governments\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4 Preparing State Finances for a Time of Crisis\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5 Debt Fatigue in the States: Red States, Blue States, and Zombie States\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II State Fiscal Institutions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6 Budget Stabilization Funds\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7 Anti-Aid Provisions in State Constitutions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8 Competition, Networks, and Public-Private Partnerships: Contributions to State Governance\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 9 Extending Zero-Based Budgeting to Zero-Based Regulation\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III Fiscal Federalism\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 10 Government Growth, Institutional Erosion, and the Fiscal Squeeze: Nebraska as a Case Study\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 11 Fiscal Federalism and State Budgeting\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 12 Give People a Vote That Counts, and They Will Vote for Fiscal Responsibility\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 13 Florida’s Fiscal Conservatism\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042030322007,"sku":"9781666932034","price":76.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781666932034.jpg?v=1750952704","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/new-perspectives-on-state-government-fiscal-challenges-9781666932034","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
