Responding to a coalfield closure: old Issues for a new regional development agency?

This paper examines the response of a new Regional Development Agency, Yorkshire Forward, to the sudden announcement that the Selby coalfield in North Yorkshire would close with the potential loss of 4000 regional jobs. Once the 'jewel in the crown' of the UK coal industry, its demise has repercussions beyond the Selby district. Following an examination of coal industry restructuring, previous regeneration efforts and issues, the paper considers the impact of closure. It is argued that by rapid analysis of the situation and by leading a Task Force to engage a range of interested parties and experts, the RDA has demonstrated a coordinated sectoral and spatial response to crisis management.

Innovation-Oriented Culture in the Public Sector: Do managerial autonomy and result control lead to innovation?

This article examines the effect of specific new public management (NPM)-related characteristics to explain innovation-oriented culture within public sector organizations. According to NPM doctrines, an enhanced managerial autonomy combined with result control will stimulate a more innovation-oriented culture in such organizations. Using multi-country survey data of over 200 public sector agencies, we test for the influence of organizational autonomy, result control and their interactions, on innovation-oriented culture. High levels of managerial autonomy and result control have independent and positive effects. However, the interaction between high personnel management autonomy and high result control has a negative effect.     

执法者的理性自利对消费者福利目标的异化—以美国司法部和FTC执行反垄断法为线索的历史考察

保护和实现消费者福利的最大化是反垄断立法与执法的根本目标所在。但由于公共执行机构出于自利动机，运用反垄断法进行利益寻租，致使反垄断法的执行结果严重偏离了其公益初衷，导致了对消费者福利目标的异化。只有明了执行机构在从事反垄断公务活动中同时追求自身利益，才有可能对此进行限制并相应地改革反垄断执法机构。
