摘要：Many states possess the authority to intervene in local fiscal emergencies, in some cases curtailing decision-making powers of local officials through the appointment of an emergency financial manager. Previous research has recognized that these managers can push through unpopular reforms that may improve financial health but come at the expense of local control and democratic accountability. We assess the financial outcomes after eight recent state takeovers relative to a matched counterfactu...

摘要：What do citizens want? How do citizens think public servants should behave? Although such questions seem straightforward, little is known about the values citizens expect public servants to uphold.

Surprisingly, and contrasting to assumptions in the literature on citizen satisfaction, citizens hard...

摘要：This study examines whether performance information affects the political agenda. I offer and test two hypotheses on performance information in politics-the attention-allocation hypothesis, suggesting that politicians leverage performance data to devote attention to problems in service delivery, and the politicization hypothesis, stating that political concerns alter elected officials focus on performance information. I examine the hypotheses by gathering administrative data on pupils' standar...

摘要：Portfolio management is widely used by large government agencies and nonprofits, but it is rarely discussed in public administration scholarship. Portfolio management tools can illuminate groups of projects that should be considered as priority investments by highlighting the relationship of risk to outcomes.

This study examines how disclosure of information about the performance of regulated entities, which also implicates the performance of relevant government agencies, affects bureaucratic behaviors. In the context of the Clean Air Act (CAA)-the primary law that regulates air pollution in the United States-this study shows that regulators significantly increased CAA regulatory inspections on facilities that star...
