DOWNLOAD EBOOKCountries vary systematically with respect to the incentives of politicians to provide broad public goods, and to reduce poverty. Even in developing countries that are democracies, politicians often have incentives to divert resources to political rents, and to private transfers that benefit a few citizens at the expense of many. These distortions can be traced to imperfections in political markets, that are greater in some countries than in others. The authors review the theory, and evidence on the impact of incomplete information of voters, the lack of credibility of political promises, and social polarization on political incentives. They argue that the effects of these imperfections are large, but that their implications are insufficiently integrated into the design of policy reforms aimed at improving the provision of public goods, and reducing poverty.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince the 1980s, the language used around market-based government has muddied its meaning and polarized its proponents and critics, making the topic politicized and controversial. Competition, Choice, and Incentives in Government Programs hopes to reframe competing views of market-based government so it is seen not as an ideology but rather as a fact-based set of approaches for managing government services and programs more efficiently and effectively.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis paper develops a dynamic general equilibrium model with three distinct social groups, capitalists, private workers and public employees. After solving for the status quo equilibrium, which can mimic the advantages of employment in the public sector in most EU countries, the paper looks for policy reforms that can improve work incentives, and hence enhance productive efficiency, in the public sector. We focus on reforms aiming to establish parity between work conditions in the public and the private sector.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"In this thesis I use experimental methods to improve our understanding of the effect of the low-power incentives prevalent in the public sector on workers' performance and job satisfaction. I focus on one salient difference between public and private firms, namely the fact that private firms typically employ high-powered incentives, with remuneration strongly depending on the firm's and the employee's performance, while remuneration in the public sector, where job security is high, is typically determined by long-term collective agreements."-- from the abstract.
