摘要:China's reform of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) is intended to liberate the companies from bureaucratic control that hinders their management. Discussions of SOE reform, however, downplay the policy consequences. Can SOEs be 'free to succeed economically while some political control is maintained? Surprisingly, American experience with hybrid organizations-government-created companies that straddle the line between public and private-offers some precedent for managing the balance between poli...

摘要:How do civilian presidents control their bureaucracies after taking over from an authoritarian regime? To answer this question, I develop a 11 reining in theory of delegation. I argue that presidents who faces intra-branch conflict over policy issues and cannot appoint-and dismiss-freely will solve their delegation problems through administrative procedure acts (APAs) and related laws. While some scholars argue that APAs are tools for preserving the status quo, I find that APAs help presidents...

摘要:This article seeks to disentangle which features of government intervention are linked to corruption and which are not, by distinguishing between the government roles of regulator, entrepreneur, and consumer. It finds that the degree of regulation of private business activity is the strongest predictor of corruption, and that high levels of public spending are related to low levels of corruption. There is no evidence of direct government involvement in production having any bearing on corrupti...

摘要:International development agencies contend developing countries can boost rates Of economic growth by introducing good governance measures. However, close analysis of specific governance reforms and economic turning points in the United States (when it was a developing country), Argentina, Mauritius, and Jamaica suggests that the agencies underestimate the time and political effort required to change governance, and overestimate the economic impact. Counter to optimistic claims about how much ...
