Description

The federal government partially shut down for 16 days in October 2013 because of a lapse in appropriations. About 850,000 federal employees were furloughed for part of this time. This report describes (1) how the shutdown affected selected agencies' operations and services, including immediate and potential longer-term effects; (2) what is known about how the shutdown affected federal contracting and grants, as reported by the selected agencies and associations with expertise in grants and contracts; and (3) what economic studies or reports state about the effect of the shutdown on national economic activity. Three departments were selected for review -- Energy (DOE), Health and Human Services (HHS), and Transportation (DOT) -- based on the value of grants and contracts, the percentage of employees expected to be furloughed, and the potential for longer-term effects. Tables and figure. This is a print on demand report.
