This reflects a tension between the potential capture of politicians and the ability to attract high productivity individuals with business experience to representative politics. We examine this issue focusing on the firm value effect of a change in parliamentary regulation in the U.K. that allowed active members of parliament (MPs) with corporate affiliations to participate in parliamentary debates on issues related to their corporate interests. Using this as a source of exogenous variation in the political value of these MPs to firms, we find that firms with political connections to MPs experienced positive abnormal returns around the event. We provide a range of additional evidence that suggests that these returns reflect an expectation of increased influence. Firms with non-MP political connections had no change in firm value in the same time-window. Politically connected firms reduce political donations after the change in regulation. Together our results indicate that political influence is a substantial component of the financial returns from political connections, even in countries with low corruption and well-developed institutions. These connections are unlikely to be socially desirable.","PeriodicalId":150523,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Other Development & Political Institutions (Topic)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127378177","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}

Although economic growth by itself is an important variable when discussing poverty, the redistributive role of the State is equally important to attain more equitable and inclusive societies. Generally, this role is embodied in poverty alleviation programs (PAPs). This paper focuses on the experience of the above-mentioned regions regarding the implementation and effectiveness of PAPs. These are compared, which serves to obtain lessons from both continents’ countries regarding six important aspects of the development of the programs. From this analysis we obtain six lessons for the implementation of new PAPs and the improvement of existing ones. These lessons include the need for complete information systems, as well as a standardizing the process of delivery of public goods. Moreover, the importance of providing information to the beneficiaries is highlighted, along with the key role that monitoring plays.","PeriodicalId":150523,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Other Development & Political Institutions (Topic)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126001098","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}
