The incorporation of performance information into the budget is, however, still work in progress. Local politicians perceive the usability of non-financial information in the budget as low and do not use such information intensively for budget composition or other purposes. German municipal budgets are usually voluminous because of their highly detailed structure and the large amount of displayed performance data which rarely informs about outcomes. Such information does not meet the needs of councillors, for example in their struggles with political opponents. Some options for improving the usability of budgetary information are presented.}, language = {en} } @article{BleyenKlimovskyBouckaertetal.2017, author = {Bleyen, Pieter and Klimovsky, Daniel and Bouckaert, Geert and Reichard, Christoph}, title = {Linking budgeting to results?}, series = {Public Management Review}, volume = {19}, journal = {Public Management Review}, number = {7}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {London}, issn = {1471-9037}, doi = {10.1080/14719037.2016.1243837}, pages = {932 -- 953}, year = {2017}, abstract = {This article contributes to the debate on the incorporation of performance information in European local government budgets.
