  摘要：Direct democracy is often touted as a means of reining in the administrative state, but it could also hinder the performance of public organizations. In particular, we argue that bargaining dynamics between voters and government officials can lead to costly administrative disruptions. We explore this issue by estimating the impact of Ohio tax referenda on school district administration using a regression discontinuity approach. The results suggest that administrators in districts where referen...

• What Are the Areas of Competence for Central and Local Governments? Accountability Mechanisms in Multi-Level Governance AI翻译

  摘要：This study aims to advance understanding of the distinctive areas of competence for central and local governments. In doing so, we focus on the relative impacts of two accountability mechanisms-elections and management approaches-on the bureaucratic attitudes and behaviors exhibited within central and local governments. We posit that elections have dominant impacts in local governments, whereas management systems play a relatively larger role in the central government. Due to this difference, ...
• The Twentieth-Century Administrative State and Networked Governance AI翻译

  摘要：Since its founding, the American state has relied both upon what we now call traditional administration-public, hierarchical, and bureaucratic-and upon more privatized approaches to governance involving state and non-state actors and institutions in contractual relationships and networks. Studying past public-private governance schemes affords new opportunities to understand why, how, and under what circumstances state actors eschew direct public action in favor of boundary-spanning arrangemen...
• Ignoring the Experts: Networks and Organizational Learning in the Public Sector AI翻译

  摘要：Although much of the research on learning in the public sector examines collaborative arrangements and interorganizational networks, it often stresses the importance of individual dialogue and social interaction as primary methods of learning. Given the collective focus, the current emphasis on organizational interaction has left the individual mechanisms by which learning occurs unspecified and understudied. This study takes as its unit of analysis the dyadic, advice seeking ties that operate...
• Black in Blue: Racial Profiling and Representative Bureaucracy in Policing Revisited AI翻译
  作者：Hong, Sounman
  作者单位：Yonsei University
  摘要：This study examines the association between the degree to which a police force is ethnically representative of the population it serves and the force's engagement in racial profiling as a policing tactic. Evidence for this study comes from English and Welsh police forces that implemented force-specific recruitment targets for officers from ethnic minority backgrounds between 2000 and 2010. Results suggest that an increase in the proportion of ethnic minorities on a police force is significantl...
• Balancing Relations and Results in Regional Networks of Public-Policy Implementation AI翻译

  摘要：Regional networks have become popular routes for central governments to translate national ambitions into regional policies and actions; but these networks face challenges, having to balance between the dual objectives of obtaining short-term goals and establishing enduring network relations. This empirical article addresses the question as to whether there is any tension between these objectives, and if so, how can it be explained and managed. We report two studies on regional networks in the...

• The Role of Policy and Practice in Short Spells of Child Care Subsidy Participation AI翻译

  摘要：A major change in US child care subsidy policy in 2014 established a 12-month eligibility period for families participating in the child care subsidy program. The primary policy objective of lengthening eligibility periods was to increase the stability of child care. Previous research in a small number of states has shown that families are more likely to leave the subsidy program at the time of eligibility recertification even though they may remain eligible. Using data from the state of Maryl...
