• Budgeting Rules and Program Outcomes AI翻译
  作者：Kasdin, Stuart
  摘要：It is not efficient for a budget system either to enable excessively frequent changes in programs and tax policies or to be rigid and unresponsive. Program durability is one measure of how a budget system weighs the competing goals of resoluteness and responsiveness. The federal budget has different processes-mandatory and discretionary spending and tax expenditures-each based in separate congressional committees and relying on separate procedures. This article examines the budget systems' dur...

  摘要：State governments are frequently said to manipulate the discount rate assumption to make pension funding look better, reduce employers' and employees' pension contributions, or relieve fiscal stress. Building a model from the political embeddedness perspective and applying an event history analysis to the 81 largest state-administered pension plans in the United States, the authors found that more politically embedded pension boards were actually more likely to reduce their plan's discount rat...

  摘要：Systematic reviews of research methods in the public administration field have assessed the progress of research practice and offered relevant recommendations to further develop research quality. But most recent reviews examine quantitative studies, and the few assessments of qualitative scholarship tend to focus on specific dimensions. This article calls attention to the overall practice of qualitative research in the field of public administration. The authors analyzed 129 qualitative studie...

• Prospect Theory Goes Public: Experimental Evidence on Cognitive Biases in Public Policy and Management Decisions AI翻译
  作者：Belle, Nicola; Cantarelli, Paola; Belardinelli, Paolo

  摘要：This article tests a broad range of cognitive biases branching out from prospect theory in the context of public policy and management. Results illuminate systematic deviations from rationality. In experiments 1 through 5, the framing of outcomes influenced decisions across policy and management domains. In experiment 6, public employees were prone to an anchoring bias when setting standards for responsiveness. Experiment 7 shows that public workers tend to put more effort into activities that...

  摘要：Governments at all levels buy mission-critical goods and services whose attributes and performance requirements are hard to define and produce. Many governments-and the public managers who lead them-lack experience and knowledge about how to contract for complex products. The contract management counsel provided to public managers is thin. Missing is a conceptual managerial framework to guide purchasing the complex products that are often so critical to public organizations' core missions. Dra...
• Can Managerial Turnover Be a Good Thing? The Impact of City Manager Change on Local Fiscal Outcomes AI翻译
  作者：Connolly, Jennifer M.
  作者单位：University of Miami
  摘要：A long line of private sector research outlines the positive and negative impacts of employee and managerial turnover on organizations. However, public administration scholars often treat turnover as a phenomenon to be avoided and focus more on the antecedents of managerial turnover than on its consequences for public organizations. Within the context of local government, the impact of city manager turnover on organizational outcomes is unclear. This article identifies how city manager turnove...
• Never Change a Winning Policy? Public Sector Performance and Politicians' Preferences for Reforms AI翻译
  作者：Geys, Benny; Sorensen, Rune J.
  作者单位：BI Norwegian Business School
  摘要：Despite the increasing stress on performance in public sector organizations, there is still little empirical evidence on whether-and if so, how-politicians respond to performance information. This article addresses this research gap by linking registry statistics on school performance in Norway's 428 municipalities with data from an information experiment embedded in a survey of local politicians. Findings show that school performance bears only a weak relationship to politicians' preferences ...
