摘要：This article builds theoretical linkages between the political mobility of local officials and the dynamic diffusion of innovation in decentralized authoritarian China. We built two datasets consisting of city-level data on pro-business administrative licensing ( business registration) reform and micro-level data on officials' career histories in 281 Chinese cities between 1997 and 2012. By comparing empirical approaches between traditional event history analysis and piecewise constant exponen...

摘要：Based on the Job Demands-Resources literature and social exchange theory, this study examines the lagged effects of job resources and job demands at the agency level on organizational commitment at the individual level, with these effects mediated by individual-level demands and resources. Using hierarchical linear modeling to analyze data obtained from federal government employees ( agency N = 38, employee N = 295,851), this study found that aggregated job resources ( empowerment, cooperation...

摘要：A critical though underexplored decision that regulatory agencies make is their choice of which statutes to implement as they set their regulatory agenda. In a standard positivist framework, strategic agencies should be expected to implement statutes of varying partisan origins in order to satisfy the ideological preferences of their political principals-conservative principals, for example, may prefer regulation that implements statutes passed by conservative coalitions. In this article, I de...

摘要：The publication of information about public service performance has expanded dramatically in recent decades. Multiple experiments have shown that relative performance information influences citizens' evaluations of local services. It is unclear whether this information leads citizens to update their beliefs or temporarily employ different criteria, however, and we do not know if the influence of performance information will extend to contexts in which citizens have access to other information ...

摘要：The article examines the effect of meritocratic recruitment and tenure protection in public bureaucracies on regulatory quality and business entry rates in a global sample. Utilizing a cross-country measure on the extent of meritocratic entry to bureaucracy and a time-series indicator of tenure protection, it subjects theoretical claims that these features improve the epistemic qualities of bureaucracies and also serve as a credible commitment device to empirical test. We find that, conditiona...

摘要：The study of administrative burden-experienced in individual encounters with government-is being renewed with new theoretical developments and policy applications. Building on recent developments, this article aims to broaden the conceptual framing of administrative burden and extend its empirical investigation beyond concerns about access to and efficiency of public services to questions of individual and societal impacts. It also expands beyond the typical US or developed country context to ...

摘要：The past decades have seen a dramatic increase in the number of regulatory agencies ( RAs) across countries and policy domains. To establish credible regulatory regimes, many RAs are formally shielded from direct political influence and thus enjoy high levels of legal autonomy. While granting formal independence to an agency may erect some institutional barriers to politicization, it also generates a strong incentive to appoint ideologically likeminded individuals to the agency leadership. An ...

摘要：Despite considerable evidence indicating that racial minorities are more likely to reside in communities surrounding the sources of environmental risks or live with higher levels of pollutant emissions, relatively little research focuses on how broader political and institutional contexts pertaining to people of color impacts routine environmental policy implementation at the state level in the post-facility-siting period. Drawing on theories of group-centric, degenerative policy, and the poli...
