  摘要：Do management practices have similar anticorruption effects in OECD and developing countries? Despite prominent cautions against New Zealand reforms which enhance managerial discretion in developing countries, scholars have not assessed this question statistically. Our article addresses this gap through a conjoint experiment with 6,500 public servants in three developing countries and one OECD country. Our experiment assesses Weberian relative to managerial approaches to recruitment, job stabi...

  摘要：In the wake of the audit revolution during the 1980s and 1990s, administrative systems across the western world have tended to gradually downplay evaluation as a component of the policy process. At the same time, auditing has dramatically increased in scope and depth, and has also, to some extent, come to fill the role in policymaking previously played by evaluation studies. This article reviews this development from the perspective of policymaking and institutional change or drift. Specifical...

  摘要：This article introduces the special issue by presenting a framework for the study of regulatory politics using the analytical tools and approaches of comparative political economy. Having traced the evolution of studies on regulation, it argues that scholars should pay more attention to the systemic features affecting regulation and to the relationship between regulatory policies and their outcomes. The article presents the foundations of an analytical framework based on the regulatory policy ...
• New forms of industrial policy in the age of regulation: A comparison of electricity and telecommunications in Italy and Spain AI翻译
  作者：Bulfone, Fabio
  作者单位：Max Planck Society
  摘要：Relying on insights from the comparative capitalism debate, this article compares the industrial policy strategies implemented by the Italian and Spanish governments to favor the internationalization of domestic electricity and telecommunications incumbents. It is shown how the cross-sectoral and cross-country variation in the outcome of their industrial policy efforts-that is, successful or unsuccessful internationalization-is explained by the reciprocal power relationship between governments...
• The new plenty; why are some post-Soviet farms thriving? AI翻译
  作者：Wengle, Susanne A.
  作者单位：University of Notre Dame
  摘要：In the 1990s, rural economies in many post-Soviet countries suffered from a staggering decline in production and from outmigration. Over the last 10 to 15 years, some agricultural producers in the former Soviet Union have managed to reverse decline: they have updated production facilities, improved productivity, and increased production and exports. These trends are uneven, as some farmers in some countries are thriving, while others are on the brink of economic collapse. What are the conditio...
• The role of agencification in achieving value-for-money in public spending AI翻译
  作者：Cingolani, Luciana; Fazekas, Mihaly
  作者单位：Hertie School; Central European University
  摘要：Agencification has been pursued globally under the promise of increasing public administration performance. In spite of ample theoretical arguments, the empirical evidence on the causal link between agencification and performance remains scarce and methodologically contested. We contribute to this debate by empirically testing the impacts of agencification across Germany, Spain, and the United Kingdom on value-for-money, competitiveness, and timeliness during the period 2006-2016. We use uniqu...
• IMF flexibility or neoliberal adaptation: A discursive content analysis of Article IV policy biases in Argentina AI翻译
  作者：Hernandez, Christian
  作者单位：University of Birmingham
  摘要：At the turn of the century, the consensus among scholars was that the International Monetary Fund's (IMF) policy preferences, which centered on deflation via austerity, privatization, and deregulation, were indicative of its neoliberal bias. However, a subsequent wave of literature has challenged this view by suggesting that the IMF has demonstrated flexibility. While these accounts arrive at their conclusion via different analytical and empirical focuses, this article posits that the flexibil...
• The varieties of banking regulation in the EU: An empirical analysis AI翻译
  作者：Kudrna, Zdenek
  作者单位：Salzburg University
  摘要：The EU strives to harmonize banking regulation, while its member states continue to insist on a degree of differentiation to accommodate national specifics. A new data set of national options and discretions (O&Ds) embedded in EU banking legislation facilitates systematic analysis of member states' policy preferences across multiple policy cycles. Its results suggest that states' O&D choices are related to their respective variety of banking capitalism. Coordinated and liberal market economies...
