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...

Building on these findings, we seek to advance the literature by analyzing politicians' financial perceptions of their own government. Drawing on the theory of motivated reasoning, we examine the context of Swedish municipalities and find financial perception gaps associated with politicians' party affiliation (establishment or anti-establishment), parlia...

摘要：There is considerable investment by government policymakers in supporting pilot innovation in public services, following which pilots prove difficult to sustain. Our 4-year longitudinal study of three pilot innovations in England, which seek to support the transition of care leavers into adulthood, provides insight into how such pilots can be sustained. Conceiving innovation as a journey, our study first identifies the dynamics of innovation around five key ingredients: the role of senior mana...

摘要：We draw from the Theory of Fundamental Causes to examine social equity and community resilience in public administration. We analyze the effect of social capital and social vulnerability on COVID-19 vaccination rates in United States' counties, as well as social capital's influence in counties with varying social vulnerabilities. Findings show that bonding social capital and socioeconomic status (SES) vulnerability negatively predict vaccine uptake. Bonding's negative association is most prono...
