N2  - This study presents analyses of panel data from 2007 to 2011 from various authoritative  sources of information on public universities in Thailand. The focus is on factors that  influence the budgetary decision-making process in providing educational services to the  general public under a recently implemented performance-based budgeting (PBB) system.  Theories applied to this research consists of PBB theory, principal-agent theory, resource  dependence theory, and decision-making process theory. Results from fixed effect  regression models show that student headcount, political influence, and economic conditions  are not statistically significant variables in the decision-making process which establish  budgetary expenditures for educational services. These findings seem to contradict those in  existing literature that have relied on analyses of data from surveys, interviews, and  questionnaires. This study contributes to the literature by providing quantitative data analysis  and providing accurate information that could assist university administrators in preparing  their universities' budgets.
