CONCLUSION""; ""REFERENCES"" 330 3 $aA well-functioning public expenditure management (PEM) system is considered a critical pillar of government efficiency, on par with a low-distortion tax system and efficient tax administration. The paper discusses PEM systems in developing countries using an analytical framework based on principal-agent theory. This simple model can be applied to various PEM systems, and allows for comparisons between institutional settings. To illustrate this, we analyze the benefits derived from the use by the Ministry of Finance (MoF) of two control instruments; ex post audits and ex ante controls, and assess their value in terms of their ability to deter cheating. We derive a set of possible "control regimes" which can be used by the MoF. Although we illustrate the use of the model using developing countries, it is also relevant to developed economies. 410 0$aIMF working paper ;$vWP/06/204. 606 $aGovernment spending policy$xManagement$zDeveloping countries 606 $aExpenditures, Public$zDeveloping countries 615 0$aGovernment spending policy$xManagement 615 0$aExpenditures, Public 700 $aLeruth$b Luc$0608957 701 $aPaul$b Elisabeth$0907258 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910826875903321 996 $aA Principal-Agent Theory Approach to Public Expenditure Management Systems in Developing Countries$94077608 997 $aUNINA
