• Public, Nonprofit, and For-Profit Sector Regulatory Approaches in Third-Party Regulatory Administration AI翻译
  作者：Carter, David P.

  摘要：Many contemporary regulatory programs rely on third-party organizations to fulfill monitoring and enforcement functions. Third-party regulatory designs introduce complexity and potentially conflicting incentives that can impact program delivery. This article examines how regulatory program outputs are shaped by third-party administrators through an investigation of the organizations charged with administering US organic food regulations. Based on the notion that third-party arrangements draw a...

• Which Statute to Implement? Strategic Timing by Regulatory Agencies AI翻译
  作者：Acs, Alex

  摘要：A critical though underexplored decision that regulatory agencies make is their choice of which statutes to implement as they set their regulatory agenda. In a standard positivist framework, strategic agencies should be expected to implement statutes of varying partisan origins in order to satisfy the ideological preferences of their political principals-conservative principals, for example, may prefer regulation that implements statutes passed by conservative coalitions. In this article, I de...
• Does Changing the Rules Really Matter? Assessing Procedural Justice Perceptions Under Civil Service Reform AI翻译
  作者：Rubin, Ellen V.; Weinberg, Stephen E.

  摘要：Civil service reforms over the last four decades have sought to provide new flexibilities to managers, particularly in relation to performance management. Reforms undertaken by many US states are consistent with this trend. State employees report these managerial flexibilities are decreasing perceptions of fairness. At the federal level, personnel reforms in the US Department of Defense also sought to increase managerial discretion. Defense identified employee perceptions of fairness as key to...
• Relative Performance Information and Perceptions of Public Service Quality: Evidence From American School Districts AI翻译

  摘要：The publication of information about public service performance has expanded dramatically in recent decades. Multiple experiments have shown that relative performance information influences citizens' evaluations of local services. It is unclear whether this information leads citizens to update their beliefs or temporarily employ different criteria, however, and we do not know if the influence of performance information will extend to contexts in which citizens have access to other information ...

• Bureaucratic Structure, Regulatory Quality, and Entrepreneurship in a Comparative Perspective: Cross-Sectional and Panel Data Evidence AI翻译
  作者：Nistotskaya, Marina; Cingolani, Luciana
  作者单位：University of Gothenburg; Hertie School
  摘要：The article examines the effect of meritocratic recruitment and tenure protection in public bureaucracies on regulatory quality and business entry rates in a global sample. Utilizing a cross-country measure on the extent of meritocratic entry to bureaucracy and a time-series indicator of tenure protection, it subjects theoretical claims that these features improve the epistemic qualities of bureaucracies and also serve as a credible commitment device to empirical test. We find that, conditiona...
• Managing Complex Contracts: A Theoretical Approach AI翻译

  摘要：When a product is difficult to specify in a contract and requires specialized investments for a market exchange, the buyer and seller can find themselves locked into a mutually dependent relationship in which both win-win and lose-lose outcomes are possible. This paper presents a theory of such complex contracting in the public sector and identifies the conditions that increase the likelihood of win-win outcomes for the buyer and the seller. Rules that allow parties to incentivize cooperative ...
• The Bite of Administrative Burden: A Theoretical and Empirical Investigation AI翻译
  作者：Heinrich, Carolyn J.
  作者单位：Vanderbilt University
  摘要：The study of administrative burden-experienced in individual encounters with government-is being renewed with new theoretical developments and policy applications. Building on recent developments, this article aims to broaden the conceptual framing of administrative burden and extend its empirical investigation beyond concerns about access to and efficiency of public services to questions of individual and societal impacts. It also expands beyond the typical US or developed country context to ...

  摘要：Much recent work in the study of public administration has emphasized new challenges and relatively unusual aspects of management. However, it is likely that the core features of traditional public administration play a crucial role, particularly regarding the delivery of performance. The most venerable of these aspects of public management have to do with internal management. We focus here on a cluster of key, intertwined management practices: setting challenging but feasible goals, building ...
