The budget as an economic document / by Robert M. Will, Department of Economics, The University of British Columbia.: Z1-1962/1-1-1E-PDF

"This study is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 discusses the essential characteristics of a budget that can be considered ideal from the point of view of its usefulness as a tool of economic analysis and as a means of promoting a better public understanding of budgetary policy. Chapter 2 compares the three forms of budget that have received most attention in recent years, the administrative budget, the national accounts budget and the cash budget, and assesses each of these budgets in relation to the criteria of an ideal economic budget developed in Chapter 1. Capital budgeting is examined in Chapter 3, particularly from the point of view of its implications for stabilization policy. Chapter 4 contains recommendations for improving Canada's budget as an economic document"--Introduction, pages 5-8.
