The aim of this book is to  demonstrate that a clear, more precise response to the question of  performance accountability is possible through the systematic  application of evaluation methods to document value. \u003cbr\u003e  The authors begin with a review of the legislative history of fiscal  accountability beginning with the Budget and Accounting Act of 1921,  and ending with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993. A  discussion of existing applicable economic models, methods, and  associated metrics follows. The book concludes with evaluation case  studies.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792383123\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-5639-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 167\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312385314956,"sku":"9780792383123","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792383123.jpg?v=1771525098","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792383123","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
