Bureaucratic behavior modeled by reduced-rank regression: the case of expenditures from the Soviet state budget

Article Abstract:

A reduced-rank regression framework was employed to analyze expenditures in the Soviet state budget. The framework showed a requirement of as much as eight latent variables to illustrate the mapping of predetermined variables into the budgetary expenditures of the Soviet government. Capital stock appeared to have a positive relationship with a number of high-priority government expenditure. A positive relationship is also detected between a low-priority government expenditure, aid to mothers, and expenditures for health, defense and industry.
