• Equality of Opportunity? Sex, Race, and Occupational Advantages in Promotion to Top-Level Management AI翻译

  摘要：We examine how occupation, race, and sex interact to affect employees' probability of promotion to the upper reaches of federal agencies' personnel hierarchies. Three interrelated questions draw our attention. First, we are interested in whether employees who are members of an agency's dominant occupational group are more likely to be promoted to Senior Executive Service (SES) positions than employees who are members of non-dominant occupational groups. Second, we are interested in whether any...

  摘要：This article contributes to our understanding of the role of gender in the exercise of prosecutorial discretion. We use administrative data from a prosecutor's office in a large urban county to estimate the direct and interactive effects of defendant and prosecutor gender on accepting initial charges brought by law enforcement officials. After implementing coarsened exact matching, Probit regression results suggest that prosecutors, on average, are more likely to accept charges against male de...

• Government-Created Nonprofit Organizations and Public Service Turnaround: Evidence from a Synthetic Control Approach AI翻译

  摘要：Theories of sectoral advantage and failure suggest that collaborations between public and nonprofit organizations can create new collaborative capabilities that compensate for sector-specific weaknesses. Drawing on these perspectives, we investigate whether government-created nonprofit organizations (GCNPOs) can turn around public services regarded as failing by government agencies. In doing so, we analyze the transfer of all of the functions of a failing inner London local education authority...
• Quasi-Market Competition in Public Service Provision: User Sorting and Cream-Skimming AI翻译

  摘要：Quasi-markets that introduce choice and competition between public service providers are intended to improve quality and efficiency. This article demonstrates that quasi-market competition may also affect the distribution of users. First, we develop a simple theoretical framework that distinguishes between user sorting and cream-skimming as mechanisms through which quasi-markets may lead to high-ability users becoming more concentrated among one group of providers and low-ability users among a...
• Can Reminders and Incentives Improve Implementation Within Government? Evidence from a Field Experiment AI翻译
  作者：Andersen, Simon Calmar; Hvidman, Ulrik
  作者单位：Aarhus University
  摘要：Existing research demonstrates how governments can use insights from behavioral science to design policy and alter residents' behavior. This article proposes that the effect of behavioral interventions may be different in hierarchical organizations where the decision to change behavior and the execution of that decision are split between different individuals. We examine the effect of two small-scale interventions-personal reminders and financial incentives-in a large-scale field experiment wi...
• Policy Alienation and Street-level Bureaucrats' Psychological Wellbeing: The Mediating Role of Alienative Commitment AI翻译

  摘要：In an era of New Public Management reforms, public sector policies often create a mismatch between social and economic values that can lead to public policy alienation-professionals' feelings of disconnection from public policies. Policy alienation can create unrest among public professionals and carry several negative repercussions for their wellbeing and work-related attitudes. The negative repercussions of policy alienation are likely to inhibit public service delivery. However, existing re...
• Why Do Policymakers Support Administrative Burdens? The Roles of Deservingness, Political Ideology, and Personal Experience AI翻译
  作者：Baekgaard, Martin; Moynihan, Donald P.; Thomsen, Mette Kjaergaard
  作者单位：Aarhus University; Georgetown University; University of Southern Denmark
  摘要：Administrative burdens affect peoples' experience of public administration but there is, to date, limited evidence to as why policymakers are willing to accept and impose burdens.To address this gap, we draw from the policy design and administrative burden literatures to develop the concept of burden tolerance-the willingness of policymakers and people more generally to passively allow or actively impose state actions that result in others experiencing administrative burdens. Drawing on a surv...
