Abstract
Abstract
Through a systematic literature review approach, this paper identifies and reviews studies from major journals in Public Administration, Public Budgeting, and Public Finance over the past two decades to critically assess how the social equity concept has been integrated into public budgeting and finance research. Focusing on five themes—federal funding, contracting, education finance, nonprofit contributions and social impact bonds, and participatory budgeting, it aims to identify shared and differing perspectives on the definition and operationalization of equity in public budgeting and finance empirical studies. Furthermore, it seeks to articulate how the studies on each theme can be informed by the broader literature on social equity and by different theoretical traditions, thereby deepening and mutually reinforcing our understanding of equity in public budgeting and finance.
