In response to the crisis, all three states chose to undertake extensive fiscal consolidations. This article examines the strategies adopted by the Baltic governments for managing fiscal stress and consolidating their budgets in the light of the existing literature on cutback budgeting. In all three countries, the governments combined expenditure and revenue measures, with a larger share of adjustment taking place on the expenditure side. Among expenditure measures, a mix of across-the-board and targeted cuts was adopted, though the importance of targeted cuts increased over time. The case studies also indicate that although the theoretical propositions of the cutback budgeting literature point to the correct directions overall, further refinement is needed in several theoretical issues. - Reproduced.  aEconomic recession  aFiscal policy  aKattel, Rainer  aInternational Journal of Public Administration  aN  a103449  c103445d103445  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 36, Issue no: 10pAR103909r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
