This paper provides a novel perspective by exploring the effect of civil organizations. A straightforward framework is constructed to understand the institutional context of government behaviors in China. Using regional data from 2010 to 2022, this paper discovers that civil organizations positively correlated with innovation output. Notably, Olson organizations prove to be more predictive of patent output compared to Putnam organizations. Moreover, significant impacts are observed in the domain of low-quality patents, such as utility models and design patents. Additionally, Olson organizations exhibit a positive impact on green innovation. With firm-level data, this paper finds limited evidence supporting the role of local exchange of ideas and knowledge. The promoting effect of civil organizations on innovation appears to stem from the “favor exchange mechanism” rather than the “knowledge sharing mechanism.”</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 3","pages":"1276-1290"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144525214","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Theoretically, the arguments for doing so are based on the arts and culture being public goods or providing positive externalities. The size of the externalities for a variety of cultural goods has been empirically investigated in numerous stated preference studies. However, the existence of externalities has not previously been tested as a causal relation. In this paper we are testing the existence of externalities of cultural consumption (cultural capital externalities) for Danish theatres. We are doing this based on a theoretical model, where a private consumption jointly produces private and public goods. We exploit variation generated by a national ticket purchasing scheme to estimate the causal effects of theatre consumption on public returns. We find that there are significant cultural capital externalities for users, but we find no effects for non-users, pointing towards peer-effects rather than externalities. Even though there are some limitations to our study, it shows that it is possible to test the existence of externalities of cultural consumption in an empirically convincing causal set-up.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"78 3","pages":"1259-1275"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.12469","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144525180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our results show a positive association between public expenditure on education and individual well-being. However, this effect is not homogeneous across educational levels, as robust evidence of a positive contribution is only found for tertiary education. Furthermore, we explore whether this relationship is contingent on individuals' ideological preferences. Our findings indicate that individuals who espouse a conservative ideology exhibit a weaker effect compared to those with a progressive mindset. Nevertheless, the positive correlation between education expenditure and well-being persists for the latter group.

For instance, measures to curb tax evasion are only meaningful once the evading entities are systematically detected. I propose a method to econometrically detect units of observation that are potentially associated with malpractice. The method exhibits a remarkable detection rate and requires two stages. In the first stage, (biased) regression coefficients are systematically obtained through fixed-effects estimation (with varying lags). In the second stage, a structure is imposed on the (biased) estimates to single out the units of observation that are likely to involve malpractice. The method is explained in the context of sportspersons who may resort to drug intake (without reporting, for obvious reasons) for the qualifiers before an event of central importance. What makes the proposed exercise challenging is that unobserved drug intake may be correlated with observed physical attributes that may serve as regressors in a model to explain performance.

Democracy indices for the average country have a strong long-run empirical relation to income that looks like a perfect transition curve. The traditional steady state political system was the three pillars model of king, aristocracy, and Church for half a millennium before modern development. Development caused the gradual but inevitable collapse of this model, as the agricultural and religious transitions undermined two of the pillars. However, all political systems try to consolidate, giving spells of status quo equilibria, so the model broke down in leaps and bounds. Development also caused the growth of the middle class, which came to dominate. It wanted mass representation, so the political system changed to democracy.

We examine whether the different entities exhibit free-riding behavior in public debt creation and find significant fiscal imbalances both at the federal level and at the subcentral level. Multiple political and constitutional mechanisms are identified as potential drivers.
