Title: Incrementalism and Exogenous Factors in Spanish National Budgeting
Abstract: This paper studies the impact of both incrementalism and exogenous factors in Spanish
national budgeting beginning in the late eighties. After a survey of related literature, we adopt
an approach based on a distinction between budget-total incrementalism and within-budget
incrementalism. We combine several statistical tools in order to avoid the shortcomings of the
Davis, Dempster and Wildavsky�s econometric method and its extensions in the 1970s and
1980s literature. Results suggest that incrementalism explains the evolution of budgeted
figures within relatively narrow bands, but additional variables are needed to explain budgettotal
change dynamics and within-budget departures from such bands.
