Examples of strategic misrepresentation in budgeting illustrate that it is a contingent strategy responsive to a system of rewards in a highly competitive game where resource constraints are present. Jones and Euske, 1991 Mechanics Not all budget advocacy requires or involves misrepresentation, nor is all budgetary strategy intended to misrepresent. Strategic misrepresentation is a predictable response to the incentive structure of the budgetary game see also principal agent problem it is used because it works under some circumstances. It is used both by budget advocates and controllers and at times by both sides of the left right political spectrum.

The study concludes that no amount of moral handwringing over the evils of strategic misrepresentation is likely to lessen the practice. Rather, the system of incentives that propels strategic misrepresentation requires analysis and reform if the behavior is to be discouraged.
