{"title":"Going Local: The Value of Research on Local Government Policies and Programs","authors":"Ingrid Gould Ellen","doi":"10.1002/pam.70097","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1002/pam.70097","url":null,"abstract":"In their early years, schools of public policy focused on federal policies and programs, as did APPAM and its journal, the Journal of Policy Analysis and Management. While this federal bias has diminished over time, it hasn't entirely gone away. This essay makes the case for more attention to local government policies and programs. It argues that studying local government policies and management can deliver unique value. First local governments perform essential, and salient functions that shape people's views of government performance. Second, local governments offer substantial variation in policy design, implementation, and context that researchers can study and from which they can draw lessons. Third, there is considerable demand from local governments for policy and management research, as they typically lack the resources to do much themselves. Fourth, research on local governments arguably has a better chance of influencing actual decision making. Finally, local governments offer uniquely rich administrative data that can provide insights on long‐run impacts, heterogeneity, and spillovers.","PeriodicalId":48105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Analysis and Management","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147470978","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report the results of a randomized experiment of a messaging intervention designed to deter offending among individuals under parole supervision with a prior violent felony conviction or firearm arrest. The intervention consisted of a group meeting in which high‐risk paroled individuals were notified of the sanction they would face upon reoffending while being offered community resources to support re‐integration into the community. The program did not lead to a notable reduction in future arrests or create community spillover effects but did reduce parole violations by 15%. Potential mechanisms and implications for similar programs are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Analysis and Management","volume":"53 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2026-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147447136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using administrative claims data between 2007 and 2017, we investigate the transition from commercial insurance to Medicare Advantage for a comprehensive subset of commercially insured enrollees. We use the sharp cutoff at age 65 in one of the largest commercial and Medicare Advantage databases in the United States to implement a “positive correlation” test. Our findings using baseline characteristics at age 64 reveal that enrollees in Medicare Advantage are advantageously selected on multiple measures of health status such as Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) scores, out-of-pocket costs, utilization, while differentially selected on demographic characteristics. Furthermore, using predicted Medicare Advantage utilization based on observable characteristics, we find even stronger evidence of advantageous selection, suggesting that observable characteristics at age 64 systematically predict which enrollees would benefit most from Medicare Advantage's features, indicating forward-looking selection behavior.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48105,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Policy Analysis and Management","volume":"45 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-03-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147384114","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
