摘要：Psychological distance theory and social value theory suggest there is a risk difference in self versus other decision-making. On this basis, this study explores whether public officials' risk preferences differ in self versus public decision-making. Inspired by prospect theory, the decision framing and bet size are further considered as the decision-making conditions. Through a survey experiment using Chinese public officials, this study finds that, compared with decision-making for themselve...

摘要：We explore the effects of gender representation between a small group of professionalized bureaucrats, assessment appeals boards, and a small group of residents and homeowners. Appeals boards have the discretion to reduce property assessments, thereby reducing one's property taxes. Housing is a gendered issue, with females experiencing slower wealth accumulation than males. Property taxes are a housing cost and, thus, a barrier to wealth accumulation. Using appeals data over 19 years in Colora...

摘要：Administrative burden is experienced by both individuals and businesses when dealing with government entities. While previous literature suggests administrative burden arises from the deliberate choices of political actors, this study highlights how bureaucratic redundancies also lead to administrative burden. Using a dataset of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in China, this study explored the influence of bureaucratic redundancy on administrative burden, in particular contractors' complian...

摘要：This study investigates the intergenerational transmission mechanisms of policy feedback, focusing on how past policies influence citizens' behavioral intentions across generations in the context of China's fertility policy changes. Using data from the China Family Panel Studies, we investigate how experiences with the one-child policy affect individuals' intentions under the current pro-natalist policy. Logistic regression analysis reveals that individuals whose parents complied with the one-...

摘要：The Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland, with their shared political histories, have confronted the compounded challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine war. These difficulties spurred the emergence of public-nonprofit collaboration in all three countries, each taking distinct paths. Our study aims to unravel these divergent trajectories of public-nonprofit collaboration through the lens of historical institutionalism. Using this lens, we attribute this divergence to the influence o...

摘要：Governments continue to liberalize public services through quasi-market measures that grant consumers a subsidized choice of public, nonprofit, or for-profit provider. The assumption is that competition and differences in ownership improve service quality. However, information asymmetry and measurement difficulties make especially complex human services prone to quality-shading, potentially lowering quality. To examine these conflicting perspectives, the article tests competing hypotheses on t...

摘要：This experimental study examines user involvement in the co-design stage of public sector innovations in relation to citizen acceptance of these innovations. We analyze 603 citizen evaluations of 12 co-designed innovation prototypes. Results show that involving a few users can benefit many citizens. Partially co-designed innovation prototypes, with users co-defining the problem but professionals developing the solution, are perceived by citizens to be of higher quality than prototypes develope...

摘要：Local governments increasingly rely on contractual relationships with third parties for public service delivery, blending formal agreements with relational mechanisms to reduce risks and uncertainties. While most research on these contracts has focused on relationships between two parties, this work adopts a network perspective to analyze how the structure of these networks-especially close-knit connections-influences contract design. We analyzed 6576 agreements between local governments in Io...

摘要：This article replicates a survey experiment by Baekgaard, Moynihan, and Thomsen (2021), analyzing individual-level differences as to why administrative burdens are constructed and imposed on individuals by policymakers. Administrative burdens are known to be consequential and distributive. So why do policymakers support them? Recent empirical studies provide us with motivations behind supporting or imposing administrative burdens, but few studies investigate whether these motivations translate...
