This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores historical inflation forecasts used in the Department of Defense (DoD) Future Years Defense Program. The study examines historical DoD forecasts against experienced inflation as measured by the Gross National Product and Gross Domestic Product implicit price deflator (GNP/GDP IPD) from 1979 to 1996. This study also compares the accuracy of DoD forecasts with those made by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and Data Resources, Incorporated (DRI). The results regarding the performance of historical DoD inflation forecasts are mixed. Upon examining budget through five year GNP/GDP IPD forecast spans, DoD short-term results do not indicate a downward bias and DoD long-term results do indicate a downward bias. Overall DoD forecast bias was lower than the CBO and DRI which tended to overestimate inflation. Next, forecast accuracy was evaluated in which all agencies equally anticipated budget year inflation. Forecasts for later years also yielded mixed results. CBO and DRI forecasts tend to exhibit less dispersion, but DoD tends to have less bias. DRI one, two, and three year forecasts and CBO four and five year projections demonstrated the least dispersion while DoD forecast results were more dispersed. Possible explanations and implications of these findings are provided.

Download or read book DoD Budget Controls Needed Over Inflation Dividends written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States General Accounting Office (GAO) examined the Department of Defense's key management controls over excess funds that have become available to the Department because actual inflation has been less than it had estimated. In earlier reports, GAO estimated that between fiscal years 1982 and 1987 the Department realized about $55.8 billion in inflation dividends. Subsequently, the Congress reduced, transferred, or reprogrammed over $7.5 billion of these inflation dividends in fiscal years 1985 through 1987. GAO's current focus is on the Department's fiscal year 1992 inflation dividend and its fiscal year 1993 budget request. GAO provided preliminary results of its review for the Subcommittee's markup of the defense appropriations bill so that the potential reductions and recissions could be used in their evaluations. Results show that the Department has overestimated the funds needed for inflation in fiscal years 1992 and 1993 by more than $3.6 billion. Based on the latest Office of Management and Budget (0MB) economic assumptions, the Department now projects inflation dividends of $2.8 billion from fiscal year 1992 appropriations and $837 million from the funds it requested for fiscal year 1993. GAO's current and past reviews lead them to believe that if the Department were to improve monitoring of funding needs and periodically report on the impact of changing inflation rates, the Congress would have the information needed to adjust for inflation dividends such as those projected for fiscal years 1992 and 1993.

Download or read book Defence Inflation written by Keith Hartley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Defence inflation is a recurring factor in determining defence spending. It is widely reported in official government publications and in the trade press, but remains relatively neglected by defence and peace economists. In this book, international contributors from Finland, Norway, Sweden, the UK and the USA distinguish between defence inflation and cost escalation, and identify the causes of both. They use specific case studies to address a wide variety of theoretical and empirical issues and key questions, including the following: Does defence inflation affect all countries? What are its effects? Why does it occur? How (if at all) can defence inflation be controlled? While most industry and trade press devote considerable ink and space to the discussion of defence inflation, cost escalation, and their consequential impact on the purchasing dollars of the armed forces, economists have been relatively silent. This book aims to rectify this oversight through a multinational survey and analysis of the topic, while also identifying the opportunities for further theoretical and empirical research in the field. This book was originally published as a special issue of the journal Defence and Peace Economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inflation indices and discount rates are necessary tools in the Department of Defense's acquisition process, as the final selection of a system is partially based on potential increases in sustainment costs (inflation) and the present value of future costs (discounting). Inflation indices built for DoD use very broad categories that include operations and maintenance (O & M) as well as manpower, procurement, and research and development. This study addresses the question of how well current inflation indices and discount rates are serving DoD weaponsystem program management. It investigates inflation rates for parts for the Abrams tank and the Bradley armored personnel carrier and shows that the two weapon systems, while both ground systems, experience inflation differently. Although government decisionmaking can benefit from discounting (taking into account the time value of money), choices made using discounted cash flows are not always the least expensive for DoD. Its O & M estimating strategies should be reviewed to reflect changing repair and other costs, since a range of reasonable courses of action exists for many DoD investment decisions. Recommendations for the Office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation to consider when evaluating the inflation and discounting policies that impact the long-term affordability of DoD programs include (1) revisiting O & M costs annually with a 5-year moving-average inflation, to reflect changing repair and other costs; (2) highlighting the role of supply chain surcharges in parts costs in cost estimates used to inform program financial analysis; (3) expanding analysis of investments to ensure consideration of least-cost outcomes.
