We estimate quantile regression models to measure the sensitivity of remunerations to business cycle along the conditional and unconditional distribution of salaries, thus capturing the asymmetry of economic activity impacts on workers’ remunerations. The main result is that income risk decreases along the conditional and unconditional distribution of salaries, showing that individuals located at the lower part of the distribution are more exposed to the fortunes of the aggregate economy. One important factor that probably explains this asymmetry is given by the role of the unions. On the other hand, unconditional poor individuals are not only more affected by business cycle fluctuations, but they suffer a stronger fall in wages when activity declines than the increase that their experiment when business cycle is in its expansion phase. We also detect some interesting specificities, since individuals that work in Construction sector face a higher income risk, while workers’ remunerations of large companies are less sensitive to business cycle.","PeriodicalId":201243,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Public Administration (Development) (Topic)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122042320","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}

We contacted the mayor’s office in over 6,000 cities asking for information about procedures for starting a new business. Chinese and German cities responded to 36-37 percent requests; American cities responded to only 22 percent of requests. We randomly varied the text of the request to identify factors that affect the likelihood of receiving a response. American and German cities were more responsive to requests from citizens than foreigners; Chinese cities did not discriminate on this basis. Chinese cities were more responsive to requests from men than women; German cities did not discriminate on this basis and American cities had a slight bias in favor of women. Cities in all three countries were more responsive to requests associated with starting a construction business than a green business, but especially Chinese cities. Chinese cities were more responsive when the mayor was being considered for promotion than after a promotion decision, suggesting the importance of promotion incentives in China, but low responsiveness to green investment suggests limited incentives for environmental improvement. We argue that the response patterns are consistent with simple political economy theories of democracy and autocracy.","PeriodicalId":201243,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Public Administration (Development) (Topic)","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128140662","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}

Los resultados indican que, pese a que se obtienen resultados satisfactorios en la evaluación de aprendizaje supervisado, el aprendizaje no supervisado se perfila como la herramienta más útil para la detección temprana de corrupción municipal en Colombia. A partir de estos hallazgos, se crea un Índice de Riesgo Relativo de Corrupción Municipal para el periodo 2020-2023. Este índice busca servir a los organismos de control en la la focalización de sus esfuerzos de investigación y prevención de la corrupción. English Abstract: This research evaluates the application of machine learning algorithms for the early detection of corruption in the Colombian municipal administration. Two approaches are considered to achieve the objective: (i) An evaluation of supervised machine learning for the prediction of variables related to corruption and, (ii) an evaluation of unsupervised learning for the segmentation of relative risk of corruption. The results show that, despite the acceptable results of predictions, unsupervised machine learning is emerging as the most useful tool for the early detection of municipal corruption in Colombia. Based on these findings, I created a Relative Risk of Municipal Corruption Index for the period 2020-2023. This index should be useful for the control bodies to target the investigation and prevention efforts in corruption.","PeriodicalId":201243,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Public Administration (Development) (Topic)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124799785","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}

The purpose is to examine public sector reforms between 2015 - 2020 that support transparency and accountability. We further examine to what extent the objectives have been attained and factors or challenges militating against efficient public sector reforms in Nigeria. We focus on a three specific proxies and their dimension of transparency and Accountability-Ease of doing business, Open Budget Initiative and Corruption Index using World Bank's Indicators and Transparency International Rankings. We carry out a thematic survey and find that in the Nigeria context, several public sector reform initiatives have been implemented over the years covering all sectors and different levels. The reform measures vary depending on the priority of the political leadership, however, it all anchored on the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness, transparency, social growth, innovation, and good governance. In the end we discovered that some of the reforms initiatives yielded moderate result why other have little or no impact on transparency and accountability. We concluded that, though, Nigeria has developed general guidelines and evolve initiatives to improve the ease of doing business and its budgeting processes, corruption is a widespread problem and is responsible for poor socioeconomic growth and development. We recommend that government take a more direct and frontal route, like imposition of death penalty in the fight against corruption. This will create an environment in which graft and fraud are less likely to proliferate. Additionally, it will ensure government operate seamlessly to the benefit of the general public, the emergence of strong public institutions and finally, a nation where the rule of law actually rules.","PeriodicalId":201243,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Public Administration (Development) (Topic)","volume":"23 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120845684","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}

The procurement markets of international organizations and advanced countries are already saturated with competition, and it is difficult to expand in the procurement market of advanced countries such as the United States, Canada and the EU as they are strengthening their preferential purchasing system in line with protectionist trade policies. Therefore, this study aimed to find a market for competitive companies in Korea by comprehensively grasping the current situation, openness, growth potential, and potential market demand of emerging markets. In particular, we focused on analyzing the possibility of Korean SMEs advancing into the government procurement market of emerging countries, and to offer suggestions on the direction of procurement policies and trade policies in order to effectively advance into these emerging markets. This study analyzed six emerging regions which are either considering WTO-GPA membership or negotiating FTA agreements with Korea: China, Southeast Asia and India, Eurasia, the Middle East, Middle Eastern Europe and Latin America.","PeriodicalId":201243,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Public Administration (Development) (Topic)","volume":"130 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122901647","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}
