Time Series Analysis as a Technique for Analyzing the Policy Implications of the Expenditure Phase of the Defense Budget.

Abstract

This thesis describes, in general overview terms, the budget execution process from the time the appropriations bill becomes law until the disbursement of funds to the private sector emphasizing the roles played by all the elements which make up the execution process. The Department of Defense budget execution process is then analyzed based on incurred obligation and expenditure patterns using time series analysis techniques. Results of the analysis are displayed graphically and the policy implications are discussed. Areas for further analysis are suggested. (Author)
