摘要:Public hearings play a critical role in U.S. local government. The evolution of public access to local government hearings and its related challenges have not been documented in a systematic way to encourage research and collaborative scholarship between practitioners and scholars. This article seeks to begin the dialogue by offering seven strategies for navigating access to public hearings in local government. In recent years, local governments have faced increasing pressure to keep pace with...

摘要:How does the marketization of social service provision impact the practices of street-level bureaucrats (SLBs) towards their clients? To explore this question, we compare the markets for ambulatory long-term care for the elderly in Germany and Israel, which differ in the latitude of choice offered to clients and the intensity of state regulation. Based on 52 qualitative interviews with SLBs and managers of care providers, our study shows that in both countries, institutional contexts play a si...

摘要:For years, scholarly interest in the intersection of government and technology has overwhelmingly focused on the end-product of technology capabilities. Recent advancements in computational power have facilitated breathtaking growth of data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and process automation, sparking considerable attention by scholars and practitioners alike. However, insight concerning the technology hardware assets powering emergent applications in the public sector remains glar...

摘要:This study tests the explanatory power of two prominent public administration theories-political control and representative bureaucracy-in understanding disparities in public service provision. While prior research focused on street-level bureaucracy, we study here how political and group identities of top elected law enforcement officials affect the distribution of youth arrests, alternatives, and prosecutions among minority groups. Data from Florida's 67 counties between 2015 and 2020 demons...

摘要:Building on transparency literature, we theorize that information characteristics such as accessibility of raw data and data source provision influence citizens' trust in public performance information. Next to the question of whether providing a data source matters, we argue that information provision from a non-government actor can compensate for the information asymmetry between citizens and public sector organizations due to a stronger symmetric data exchange relationship. Integrating and ...

摘要:Algorithms based on Artificial Intelligence technologies are slowly transforming street-level bureaucracies, yet a lack of algorithmic transparency may jeopardize citizen trust. Based on procedural fairness theory, this article hypothesizes that two core elements of algorithmic transparency (accessibility and explainability) are crucial to strengthening the perceived trustworthiness of street-level decision-making. This is tested in one experimental scenario with low discretion (a denied visa ...

摘要:Administrative burden in social welfare programs is increasingly recognized as a barrier to eligible individuals' access to their legally entitled benefits. Using composite indices of administrative rules for three major safety-net programs (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, and Medicaid) that vary in the degree and type of costs conferred on claimants across states between 2000 and 2016, we examine the effect of rule burden on program participa...
