Political determinants of fiscal transparency: a panel data empirical investigationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 315-336 - 2017
Lorenzo Cicatiello, Elina De Simone, Giuseppe Lucio Gaeta
The investigation of the determinants of fiscal transparency has been mostly
performed on cross-sectional data, and it has produced mixed results. This paper
improves the existing literature by performing a static and dynamic panel
analysis of the effect of a set of political variables on the level of fiscal
transparency in 36 democratic countries. By using a recent measure of fiscal
transparency ... hiện toàn bộ
Moral hazard and the composition of transfers: theory and evidence from cross-border transfersSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 14 - Trang 279-301 - 2013
J. Atsu Amegashie, Bazoumana Ouattara, Eric Strobl
We study how a donor can use restricted transfers to control the moral hazard
behavior of a recipient and how the composition of unrestricted and restricted
transfers is adjusted in response to changes in the moral hazard behavior of the
recipient. Under certain conditions, our game-theoretic model predicts that the
donor reduces the proportion of restricted transfers in total transfers as the

Có sự hỗ trợ chính trị cho gánh nặng đôi đối với hoạt động kéo dài? Dịch bởi AI Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 7 - Trang 143-154 - 2006
Georges Casamatta, Helmuth Cremer, Pierre Pestieau
Tại nhiều quốc gia, người lao động cao tuổi phải đối mặt với một sự bóp méo kép
khi họ xem xét việc kéo dài hoạt động của mình: thuế lương và việc giảm quyền
lợi hưu trí. Thường thì người ta cho rằng gánh nặng kép như vậy sẽ không phải là
điều mong muốn về mặt xã hội. Chúng tôi xem xét một bối cảnh mà cả nhà hoạch
định xã hội vị lợi và nhà hoạch định xã hội Rawls đều sẽ bác bỏ nó. Hơn nữa, mỗi
cá ... hiện toàn bộ

Alternation of parties in power and economic volatility: testing the rational partisan hypothesis and policy learning hypothesisSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 19 - Trang 91-118 - 2018
Steven Hall, Misa Nishikawa
Right and left parties have distinct macroeconomic preferences that could create
different levels of volatility during their executive tenures. But rational
partisan theory argues that, because actors in the economy anticipate ruling
party behavior, partisan differences only matter when election outcomes are
uncertain. We argue that policy risk from ruling parties extends beyond
elections, leading... hiện toàn bộ
Trust in government and its effect on preferences for income redistribution and perceived tax burdenSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 15 - Trang 71-100 - 2013
Eiji Yamamura
This paper explores how trust in government shared by neighbors is associated
with individual preferences for income redistribution and individual perceptions
regarding income tax burden. Using individual-level data from Japan, a nation
with shared homogenous racial and cultural backgrounds, this paper controls for
unobservable heterogeneity among Japan’s population, thus reducing estimation
bias.... hiện toàn bộ
Alternative intervention mechanisms in rent-seeking contestsSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 24 - Trang 453-471 - 2023
Friedhelm Hentschel
This paper models a rent-seeking contest which allows for the provision of
third-party support. Support can be either provided by reducing the supported
player’s cost of fighting or by increasing the ability to fight. I present and
solve a rent-seeking contest which nests these two intervention mechanisms.
Among others, I find that for identical intervention costs of the two
mechanisms, the interv... hiện toàn bộ
Democracy, autocracy and the likelihood of international conflictSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 10 - Trang 99-117 - 2008
Thomas P. Tangerås
This is a game-theoretic analysis of the link between regime type and
international conflict. Democratic leaders can credibly be punished for bad
conflict outcomes, whereas autocratic leaders cannot. Due to the fear of being
thrown out of office, democratic leaders are (i) more selective about the wars
they initiate and (ii) on average win more of the wars they start. Foreign
policy behaviour is f... hiện toàn bộ
Democracy, rule of law, and corporate governance—a liquidity perspectiveSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 18 - Trang 35-70 - 2016
Naiwei Chen, Tsai-Chen Yang
This study examines whether and how democracy and rule of law—two overarching
country-level governance variables—influence corporate governance. Given that
corporate liquidity (cash holdings) is a good channel for examining the quality
of corporate governance, the effects of democracy and rule of law on corporate
governance can be identified using the liquidity approach. A review of 67
countries f... hiện toàn bộ
