摘要：This research investigates the configurations of openness and policy conditions influencing the implementation of environmental justice (EJ) open government data (OGD) dashboards across U.S. states. EJ dashboards represent a shift from a civic-tech approach to OGD, which emphasizes the public release of vast amounts of data, to a problem-centered approach where government agencies release and curate selected data to address a policy-specific issue. Because of their differences, problem-centere...

摘要：This paper examines the moderating effects of socio-political factors on the influence of issue salience and prosocial values on citizen activism in different governance contexts. While the literature on citizen activism has examined the emergence, motivations, and channels of activism, we still lack a broader understanding of how different social (membership of social groups and sense of attachment to local communities) and political (ease of citizen involvement and trust in government) conte...

摘要：Transaction cost (TC) theoretical constructs are central to research throughout the social sciences, yet key concepts, such as measurability and asset specificity, often defy systematic empirical measurement. In government contracting research, empirical measurements of key TC theoretical constructs are limited to the International City/County Management Association's surveys of US municipal and county governments. We present a preregistered method using machine learning algorithms to generate...

摘要：Values are ideals of what is desirable for the individual, profession, organization, or institution. Institutional values attach to organizations because of their place in a political order, capturing broad governance concerns that extend beyond the details of management and technical administration. What institutional values do public administration scholars study, how do they study them, and how do those values relate to democracy? Our comprehensive and systematic review of the contents of p...

摘要：Over 50 years ago, Rittel and Webber published their seminal article on wicked problems that generate second-order effects that often limit or defeat ambitious initiatives. The Rittel-Webber model, in all of the 10 distinguishing characteristics they specified, closely fits dilemmas of public managers seeking to advance social equity. Analyzing the experiences of U.S. public sector social equity initiatives through the Rittel-Webber lens provides lessons about the wickedness of problems of adv...

This study examines the impact of public sector fellowship programs as alternative pathways into government roles for early career professionals. Leveraging data from 17 cohorts of applicants accross four US fellowship programs over 19 years (N = 2141; 31,153 individual-year observations), we employ a staggered difference-in-differences approac...

摘要：The aim of the article is to interpret the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023 in light of crisis management theories, seeking to draw from this event some general lessons about the nature of crises, their determinants, and how they are managed. More specifically, the article addresses three questions: (1) Why did Israel underestimate the warning signs and fail to prevent the attack? (2) What decision-making logic did the Israeli government adopt in responding to the attack? (3) What kind of crisi...

摘要：In 2009, the US federal government created the Build America Bond (BAB) program to improve access to the capital markets for state and local governments. While the federal government typically subsidizes subnational capital financing indirectly through tax exemption, the BAB program provided direct cash subsidies to governments. The Budget Control Act of 2011 implemented a sequester that reduced BAB subsidies by 5.7 to 8.7% each year since 2013. This paper estimates previous and potential futu...

摘要：Understanding the use of evidence by public organizations and public officials is a key issue for public administration scholars and practitioners. In this study, we examine how individual- and organizational-level factors relate to evidence informed policy making. Using the Norm of Evidence and Research in Decision-making (NERD), we conduct an online survey to analyze evidence informed policy making perceptions of public officials (n = 438) holding policy responsibilities within the Flemish (...

摘要：Based on archival data, this study utilizes the theoretical framework of policy transfer to conduct a case analysis of the history of PACH's transnational dissemination of its unique networking ideas, institutional models, and practices in the mid-20th century. The findings indicate that during the two stages before and after World War II, PACH's transnational transfer activities demonstrated different features in terms of motives, actors, content, routes, degrees, constraints, and facilitatin...
