This paper proposes a model for participatory budgeting under uncertainty based on stochastic programming, and suggests that this approach seems lacking, especially in times of crisis when public funding suffers high volatility and widespread cuts.

TL;DR: The institutional engagement and analysis needed to effectively integrate the requirements of equality legislation into participatory budgeting (PB) processes requires a transformational approach as discussed by the authors, which is difficult to implement in practice.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present and analyse the changes in the scale and scope of the significance of participatory budgets introduced in the years 2014-2016 in most Polish cities with district rights (MNP), as well as determine the importance of activities in the field of marketing communication for the effective implementation of the objectives related to its functioning.
TL;DR: The study reveals three constraints that may hamper further development of PB that are revealed in the scale, dynamics, and constraints of PB in all Polish cities with province capital status.
TL;DR: This work generalizes existing frameworks to capture this setting, studies desirable properties of algorithms for this problem, and presents and analyzes algorithms that trade-off desirable properties.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze public budget records relating to public spaces in the largest Polish cities, focusing on community involvement and local community needs, represented by a wide array of public space-related project categories.
TL;DR: The paper presents a method of attack which splits the problem into two non-linear or linear programming parts, i determining optimal probability distributions, ii approximating the optimal distributions as closely as possible by decision rules of prescribed form.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an overview of cost terms and their application in the management of cost in the context of accounting, including flexible budgets, variable budgets, and management control.
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that under four axioms that describe the behavior of players, there is a unique solution to the two-player bargaining problem, which is different from those suggested by Nash.
TL;DR: In this paper, four approaches to decision making are presented: decision analysis, negotiation analysis, template design and template evaluation, and consensus on how to achieve a shared agreement for all the parties.
The paper does not provide information on how citizen participatory budgeting can specifically help people in crisis. The paper proposes a model for participatory budgeting under uncertainty, but does not discuss its application in crisis situations.
