    　View Summary

    In my theoretical model, a person or an organization who decides the total budget is regarded as a principal, and a person or an organization allocating the budget given to him/her among programs is an agent. When the principal decides the amount of a budget depending on the agent's behavior, there may exist a time-inconsistency problem, which will generate inefficiency. Asymmetric information between the principal and the agent is another source of inefficiency.
    I also composed a model in which a budget is spent on public investment. Under some conditions on utility function and production function, the agent can increase the budget he/she gets by engaging in greater corruption. A budget constraint imposed for the final period can limit corruption in each period, and induce efficient investment. Moreover, I showed that a fiscal cap on aggregate spending in the final period alone, though it may appear loose, credibly controls agents.
