Question:

A researcher is interested in how agency and bureau directors can achieve stronger control over their organizations. Using data from 500 of these organizations, she finds a relationship between type of budget and control. By a large percentage difference, directors claim to have stronger control with a line-item budget than with any other type. This relationship persists even when the researcher introduces the third (control) variables of size of agency or bureau and number of hierarchical levels in the organization. Accordingly, she concludes that the relationship between type of budget and director control must be causal. Explain why you agree or disagree with her conclusion.
