  摘要：The rise of artificial intelligence in public decision-making is reshaping state legitimacy by shifting administrative discretion from human bureaucracies to algorithmic systems. While research has explored AI accountability and legitimacy deficits, how they are related across different decision contexts remains unclear. Drawing on bureaucratic legitimacy, procedural fairness, and forum drifting theories, this study examines how AI accountability and effectiveness shape legitimacy perceptions,...

  摘要：Despite growing interest in the motivations behind co-production, uncertainty persists regarding the effectiveness of financial incentives, particularly in non-Western contexts. This study replicates Voorberg et al. experiments within Chinese urban settings to test their generalizability across cultural contexts and co-production types. Through two experiments that mirror the original study's design, our results reveal that modest financial rewards consistently enhance willingness to engage in...
• Public Versus Private Providers: How Ownership Impacts Quality in Public Service Markets AI翻译
  作者：Brogaard, Lena
  作者单位：Roskilde University
  摘要：Governments continue to liberalize public services through quasi-market measures that grant consumers a subsidized choice of public, nonprofit, or for-profit provider. The assumption is that competition and differences in ownership improve service quality. However, information asymmetry and measurement difficulties make especially complex human services prone to quality-shading, potentially lowering quality. To examine these conflicting perspectives, the article tests competing hypotheses on t...

  摘要：This experimental study examines user involvement in the co-design stage of public sector innovations in relation to citizen acceptance of these innovations. We analyze 603 citizen evaluations of 12 co-designed innovation prototypes. Results show that involving a few users can benefit many citizens. Partially co-designed innovation prototypes, with users co-defining the problem but professionals developing the solution, are perceived by citizens to be of higher quality than prototypes develope...

  摘要：Local governments increasingly rely on contractual relationships with third parties for public service delivery, blending formal agreements with relational mechanisms to reduce risks and uncertainties. While most research on these contracts has focused on relationships between two parties, this work adopts a network perspective to analyze how the structure of these networks-especially close-knit connections-influences contract design. We analyzed 6576 agreements between local governments in Io...

  摘要：The paper explores the gender dimensions of social equity and social equity budgeting (SEB) by investigating women's inclusion in local politics, budgeting and decision-making in Bangladesh. Quotas for women representatives are reserved at each successive level of local government in Bangladesh, and their active participation in local politics and budgeting is encouraged. The data for the paper were derived from in-depth interviews with local actors and direct observations, while the findings ...
• Whose Priorities? Social Equity in the Priority-Based Budgeting Process AI翻译

  摘要：Priority-based budgeting (PBB) identifies community priorities and systematically reallocates budgetary resources from programs that are less aligned with those priorities to those that are more aligned. Proponents claim that PBB provides fresh opportunities to inject equity considerations into goal-setting, prioritizing, and allocating activities via public engagement and direct minority representation among elected and appointed officials. This study examines these claims by exploring the bu...
• A Replication of Why Do Policymakers Support Administrative Burdens? The Roles of Deservingness, Political Ideology, and Personal Experience AI翻译

  摘要：This article replicates a survey experiment by Baekgaard, Moynihan, and Thomsen (2021), analyzing individual-level differences as to why administrative burdens are constructed and imposed on individuals by policymakers. Administrative burdens are known to be consequential and distributive. So why do policymakers support them? Recent empirical studies provide us with motivations behind supporting or imposing administrative burdens, but few studies investigate whether these motivations translate...
• Advancing Robust Governance in Turbulent Times: The Role of Multi-Level Governance, Hybrid Governance, and Negotiated Societal Intelligence AI翻译

  摘要：New research argues that robust governance based on flexible adaptation and proactive innovation is needed in order to uphold core public functions, purposes, and values in times of societal turbulence. However, we have limited knowledge of the conditions for enhancing robust governance. To fill that knowledge gap, we ask: How can multi-level governance, hybrid governance, and societal intelligence contribute to the development of robust responses to the proliferation of complex and turbulent ...
