Abstract
Earmarking has been both praised and denounced as a fi cal tool of state government, 1 but there appears to be little scholarly research to either support or refute the arguments put forth in the dedication controversy. This paper attempts to weigh the evidence both for and against special funding, and to suggest some long-run planning corrections which would serve as a remedy to some specific problems often encountered in t he earmarking process.
Dr. Simkin is an Associate Professor in the College of Business at the University of Hawaii.
