To this end, we match data on municipal elections in Italy to the budget data of firms whose shares are owned by Italian municipalities. As political turnover and performance are likely to be jointly endogenous, we exploit the quasi-experimental nature of close electoral races to estimate the causal treatment effect. We find evidence that municipal party turnover disrupts investment and slows down productivity growth. At the same time, the probability of observing financial distress is larger. No significant effect can be established, on the other hand, in terms of profitability and employment growth. We link the effect of municipal party turnover to three mechanisms: first, the nature of close electoral races alters the incumbent party’s incentives to invest; second, turnover makes the appointment of new, less-experienced, board directors more likely; third, the new political leadership directly reduces the amount of resources transferred in order to signal its commitment to curb wasteful municipal expenditure. We finally set up a survival analysis, whose results show that municipal party turnover is associated to an increase in the likelihood to observe bankruptcy.","PeriodicalId":137820,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy: National","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131753176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To measure state economic development incentives programs, they use a new and substantially improved data set from Bartik (2017). They also include a measure for economic freedom, the Fraser Institute’s Economic Freedom of North America index.,The authors find a robustly negative relationship between development incentives and patent activity. They find some evidence that incentives are negatively associated with small business establishments ( 500 employees) share. They also find evidence of a positive relationship between economic freedom and both patent activity and net business formation.,The results imply that economic development incentive programs are unlikely to increase entrepreneurial activity and may decrease it. They also imply increased economic freedom (lower taxes, lower spending, and lower governmental restrictions on labor markets) may increase entrepreneurial activity.,To the authors’ knowledge, this paper provides the first examination of the relationship between development incentives and entrepreneurial activity that utilizes Bartik (2017), a new vastly improved data set of state economic development incentive programs. The paper also contributes to the literature on the relationship between economic freedom and entrepreneurial activity.","PeriodicalId":137820,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy: National","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130019217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Europe Under Siege 围攻中的欧洲

{"title":"Europe Under Siege","authors":"Roy C. Smith","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.3191534","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.3191534","url":null,"abstract":"The European Union is the world’s second largest economic organization with GDP in 2017 of $17 trillion, but it faces many challenges that ultimately will determine its fate. It is under siege from several directions – its continuing struggle to assist Greece in returning to a status of a normal member; a prolonged economic slump from which it is just emerging that has weakened confidence in the EU’s institution; challenges to the EU’s governing principles of open borders for the transfer of people, capital, goods and services; and the complex problems of breached external borders by refugees. There is also a growing threat to political institutions from the far right and anti-EU factions, and the threat that the UK’s Brexit referendum results may be passed on to other member states. All this as the EUs relations with Russia, on which Europe depends for about a third of its energy requirements, sour and become hostile again. The next ten years will be vitally important in determining whether the EU will survive as a viable, growing economic system, or whether it will begin to unravel into the collection of independent states it was before the EU came into being in the early 1990s. On the surface the threat is political – will the member countries retain the support of their populations – but the need for faster growth in the private sector may be the most important factor affecting the EU’s future.","PeriodicalId":137820,"journal":{"name":"Political Economy: National","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117175322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
