摘要：The rise of the regulatory state has led to the global diffusion of independent regulatory agencies (IRAs). IRAs are the result of the tension between the functional demands of regulatory capitalism and the need of politicians to control policies. Their life cycles have not been linear. Their legal statuses have changed over time, affecting their degrees of independence. This article revisits Gilardi's formal independence index, makes an in-depth diachronic and cross-sectorial analysis of 11 r...

摘要：Innovating upon previous field experiments and theories of identity-based discrimination, we test whether public officials are using searches (identity-questing) to profile citizens and acting on latent biases. Pairs of institutional and noninstitutional requesters send lower and moderate burden freedom of information (FOI) requests-providing no identity cues apart from undistinctive names, e-mails, and ID numbers-to nearly 700 of Brazil's largest municipalities. Results show institutional req...

摘要：Credit markets are expanding, and with them also the automated, large-scale commercialization of personal credit data. The increasing use of data and scores for commodified decision making lends greater urgency to the study of credit data regulatory regimes. This article promotes a comparative regulatory governance perspective as the basis for theory-driven, multidimensional measurement. In order to measure consumer protection, we distinguish three different subregimes (collection, profiling, ...

摘要：To what extent do public officials feel they have control over their lives in public service? We develop a new measure of perceived control in the bureaucracy based on the locus of control scale. The bureaucratic locus of control (BLOC) scale extends standard measures to a bureaucratic context as well as introduces an extension to these measures that focuses on the power of systemic forces in officials' lives. Field tests among a representative sample of Ethiopian public officials suggest that...

摘要：Despite strong whistleblowing intention, very few truly act to blow the whistle. Building on a random sample of local citizens with citywide anticorruption performance indicators, this study investigated the linkages between institutional anticorruption and citizens' whistleblowing acts, both directly and indirectly via situational settings (i.e., corruption incidence and corruptive climate). The findings confirmed the impacts of varying anticorruption practices and detected both direct and in...

摘要：Devolution complicates citizens' ability to assign responsibility for the provision of public goods and services to different tiers of government. Misattribution of responsibility limits the effectiveness of electoral accountability in the nested principal-agent relationships comprising voters, politicians, and bureaucrats. This raises two important questions. First, how do citizens learn about the functions of different tiers of government under devolution? Second, how do levels of political ...
