Carolyn Bourdeaux, director for the Center for State and Local Finance, weighed in on the states’ experiences with dynamic scoring for a column published by Governing on June 22, 2015.
The column, “The States Disappointing Experiences with Dynamic Scoring,” emphasizes that dynamic modeling is useful in assessing economic ripple effects, but that it is not a tool that should be used for budgeting or forecasting.
It highlights the center’s April 2015 report “Dynamic Revenue Analysis: Experience of the States,” which is authored by Peter Bluestone, a senior research associate, and Bourdeaux, an associate professor at the Andrew Young School of Policy Studies.
The column was published as part of Voices of the Governing Institute, which publishes insight from practitioners and observers that adds perspective to the conversation on state and local government.
