Abstract

ABSTRACT We empirically study whether citizens´ trust in public administration is influenced by the outcomes delivered by public services or by due process (administrative impartiality or absence of corruption) from a regional perspective. The paper fits a multilevel model on a unique dataset (N= 129,773) with observations nested in 173 European regions, using data from a series of pooled Eurobarometer surveys and from the European Quality of Government Index. We find that both public service outcomes and processes have a significant impact on citizens´ trust in public administration, but that process, and in particular absence of corruption is the strongest institutional determinant.

制度质量、腐败和公正性:173个欧洲地区公共行政过程和结果对公民信任的作用

摘要：我们从区域角度实证研究了公民对公共行政的信任是否受到公共服务成果或正当程序（行政公正性或无腐败）的影响。该论文在一个独特的数据集（N=129773）上拟合了一个多层次模型，该数据集的观测结果嵌套在173个欧洲地区，使用了一系列欧洲晴雨表调查和欧洲政府质量指数的数据。我们发现，公共服务的结果和过程都会对公民对公共行政的信任产生重大影响，但这一过程，尤其是没有腐败，是最强有力的制度决定因素。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Policy Reform focuses on the analysis of economic policy reform. The journal draws upon what lessons can be learned from the successes and failures of countries undertaking reforms and how existing theories can be developed to shed light on positive as well as normative aspects of the reform process. The Journal of Economic Policy Reform encourages work from economists and political economy analysts on policies to promote growth and reduce poverty, intellectual property rights, aid versus trade, debt and debt relief, taxation and social security systems, surveys of key reform issues, as well as on corruption, democracy, emerging markets and the role of multilateral institutions.
