| Sumario: | To date, studies have paid little attention to the difference between budgeted public expenditure and the amounts actually spent by state governments in Mexico.

The results show that the difference between what is budgeted and what is spent is a common practice, particularly in the form of overspends, and in contexts of vertically divided government this amount tends to be higher. |
