| Abstract | The development of time-series revenue projections for University of Alaska Budget Request Units (BRUs) is described. Fiscal planning modes in higher education are reviewed, along with the attributes of judgmental, time-series, and causal forecasting techniques. The following six submodels comprise the necessary dimensions of the comprehensive fiscal planning model: revenues, expenditures, programs, facilities, local needs, and environmental constraints (political, legal, economic, and human resource requirements). Attention is focused on the first phase of this quantitative fiscal planning research project: the time-series analysis of only revenue submodel components. Phase one also involved outlining a general procedure to derive nongeneral fund revenue submodel components for the University of Alaska system, and developing time-series funding years 1984 and 1985 nongeneral fund revenue component projects at the BRU level. Comparative data on original and projected revenues are analyzed. Conclusions include the following: objective methods are more accurate than subjective methods, causal methods are more accurate than naive methods, and the superiority of objective and causal methods increases as the forecast horizon increases.
