Session Six: Performance Budgeting For Sub National Entities, China, Meeting ...OECDtax
The document discusses performance budgeting at the sub-national level in the United States. It provides context on the fiscal relationship between federal, state, and local governments. States have significant autonomy but the federal government provides grants that comprise about a third of state spending and often have accountability requirements. The framework for performance budgeting and management at the federal level was established by the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010. Some unique challenges for performance budgeting at the sub-national level include the diversity of local governments and balancing compliance and innovation when relying on funding from multiple levels of government.

crafting the policy
• Kenan Institute and ED Director work closely to:
• Determine priorities among economic development goals

• Decide on a point system—companies are awarded points for
meeting certain criteria. Companies with a larger number of
points are eligible for larger incentive award
• Identify number of points awarded for each criterion
• 12 criteria, including number of jobs created, level of wages and
benefits, amount of capital investment, environmental impact,
industry type, in-county purchases and sales.
