Noting the central role of individualism to liberalism, we provide evidence on this claim by investigating the empirical relationship between individualism and the EFI. Our findings suggest that there is a strong, positive relationship between individualism and the EFI. This relationship is robust to the use of alternative measures of individualism, to controls for a wide range of historical, cultural and institutional variables, and to the use of instrumental variable methods to address measurement and endogeneity issues. We also find evidence of a strong positive, causal relationship between individualism and four of the five components of the EFI. While these findings broadly support the claim that the EFI provides a measure of a classically liberal approach to economic governance, they also present challenges the empirical literature on the EFI. In particular, it is unclear whether liberal economic policies or the individualist values that underlie these policies are responsible for the positive relationship between the EFI and measures of social welfare.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 1","pages":"251-272"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145931100","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}

We hypothesize that the emergence of centralized/extractive institutions in the capital city, which tend to siphon resources from hinterland cities, results in artificially inflated urbanization levels despite congestion problems and economic stagnation. In contrast, decentralized/inclusive institutions, fostering a balanced and autonomous urbanization process, are associated with economic growth. We conduct a historical and empirical analysis of the Republic of Genoa from 1400 to 1800. Our findings suggest that extractive and centralized institutions in the capital city of Genoa led to centralized and congested urban growth, restricting the autonomy and expansion of peripheral cities and negatively impacting the Republic's overall economic development, at least until new policies were enacted in the eighteenth century. Consequently, the emergence of more inclusive institutions fostered the development of peripheral cities, resulting in urbanization that was more balanced and coupled with economic growth. This pattern shows that urbanization is virtuous when decoupled from urban concentration, whereas their simultaneous increase reflects economic stagnation, integrating both urbanization ‘with’ and ‘without’ growth into a unified framework.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 1","pages":"201-217"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145916049","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}

This article aims to fill this gap by linking the literature on political alignment and transfers with work on public sector efficiency. Specifically, we examine how bureaucratic input choices might be related to political orientation and political sign and how political coordination between local and higher levels of government could lead to inefficiencies due to clientelism, corrupt practices, or lack of transparency.

Drawing on 259 survey responses collected from German universities after the COVID-19-driven transition to online formats, it applies a utility-based framework, combined with Probit and Logit regressions. The findings robustly demonstrate that perceived peer cheating is the most significant determinant, significantly elevating individual cheating likelihood by reducing perceived detection risks, thereby normalizing dishonest behavior. Although self-reported cheating is more common in online settings, the analysis shows that it is weak enforcement and lower monitoring, rather than the exam format itself, that elevate misconduct. Students who dedicate substantial preparation time or hold strong ethical convictions are less likely to cheat, while sanctions prove ineffective unless coupled with a credible probability of detection. By quantifying these drivers in a controlled academic setting, this study provides fresh insights into how peer contagion, detection risk, and contextual factors interact to shape dishonest behavior. The results underscore the need for robust proctoring, clear sanction policies, and efforts to strengthen social norms, particularly as online and hybrid assessments continue to expand.</p>","PeriodicalId":47739,"journal":{"name":"Kyklos","volume":"79 1","pages":"112-128"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/kykl.70017","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145930899","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}
