Abstract

The Office of Budget in the Treasury is one of the most important, but not studied, institutions in the Chilean presidential regime. This paper examines its evolution and its influence in the policymaking process analyzing not only formal rules but also informal attributions. The research concludes that DIPRES, which is in the “engine room” of the Chilean presidential regime, has some institutional challenges that must be considered.
