摘要：Democratic backsliding has emerged as a defining political challenge of the contemporary era, yet systematic cross-national evidence linking it to governance outcomes remains scarce. This article argues that backsliding affects governance through two analytically distinct channels: a political accountability channel, whereby weakened contestation and oversight reduce the external costs of poor performance; and an administrative channel, through which executive politicization erodes meritocrati...

摘要：Public and nonprofit organizations exhibit high rates of female employment often attributed to sector structures and social roles. To better understand how individual behaviors dynamically contribute to these distinctive ratios, we deconstruct public and nonprofit employment into gendered patterns of attraction and attachment. Using duration analysis and following a cohort from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997, this research finds that women demonstrate a higher attraction to the...

摘要：We propose an interdisciplinary theoretical framework that integrates insights from political science, public administration, organizational theory, economics, psychology, sociology, and cognitive science to better understand the role of emotions in governance in the digital age. We argue that citizens' sentiments and emotional responses are central to their relationships with government institutions and bureaucracies. Building on bounded rationality and technology acceptance models, we develo...

摘要：Institutional quality in Africa has evolved over the last two decades, fuelling an extremely fertile literature. In this article, we examine the effects of democracy and regime sustainability on inclusive growth. Based on a sample of 48 African countries, we specify and estimate a panel data model by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and the Driscoll-Kraay method, whose robustness is confirmed via the Lewbel 2SLS method, and a dynamic panel data model proved by the System Generalized Method of Mome...

摘要：Data manipulation plagues principals for providing noisy performance data. Yet, it also has pitfalls for agents, which receive relatively little attention in the literature. Due to the performance data manipulated by previous agents, incumbent agents fall into the dilemma regarding whether to continue or curb data manipulation. We argue that to navigate the dilemma, political agents leverage the anti-corruption opportunity window to curb data manipulation. Using panel data from China's local g...

摘要：Public service providers around the world are now offering chatbots to answer citizens' questions and deliver digital services. Using these artificial intelligence-powered technologies, citizens can engage in conversations with governments through systems that mimic face-to-face interactions and adjust their use of natural language to citizens' communication styles. This paper examines emerging experiences with chatbots in government interactions, with a focus on exploring what public administ...

摘要：Performance budgeting has been widely advocated as a tool to strengthen fiscal accountability and improve public spending efficiency. However, its role in deterring corruption remains underexplored. This study examines the impact of performance budgeting reforms on corruption in Chinese local governments. Using a difference-in-differences approach with the staggered implementation of performance budgeting reforms across Chinese provinces, we find significant reductions in actual corruption cas...
