das Finanzierungssystem der EU? Worauf l?sst sich die Auszahlungsstruktur zurückführen? Ist der Nutzen der EU-Mitgliedschaft
allein anhand der Zahlungsstr?me zu messen?

The paper compares decision-making on the centralisation of public goods provision in the presence of regional externalities
under representative and direct democratic institutions. A model with two regions, two public goods and regional spillovers
is developed in which uncertainty over the true preferences of candidates makes strategic delegation impossible. The political
economy argument against centralisation of Besley and Coate (J Public Econ 87:2611–2637, 2003) does therefore not apply. Instead,
it is shown that the existence of rent extraction by delegates alone suffices to make cooperative centralisation more likely
through representative democracy under reasonable assumptions. In the case of non-cooperative centralisation, the more extensive
possibilities for institutional design under representative democracy increase the likelihood of centralisation. Direct democracy
may thus be interpreted as a federalism-preserving institution. 相似文献

Creative destruction and fiscal institutions: a long-run case study of three regions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

We analyze the rise and decline of the steel and mining industries in the regions of Saarland, Lorraine and Luxembourg. Our main focus is on the period of structural decline in these industries after the second world war. Differences in the institutional framework of these regions are exploited to analyze the way in which the broader fiscal constitution sets incentives for governments either to obstruct or to encourage structural change in the private sector. Our main result is that fiscal autonomy of a region subjected to structural change in its private sector is associated with a relatively faster decline of employment in the sectors affected. Contrary to the political lore, fiscal transfers appear not to be used to speed up the destruction of old sectors, but rather to stabilize them. 相似文献

New Political Economy has something very important in common with welfare economics: its focus on static, technical efficiency criteria to judge the rationality of a social, political or economic order. This often leads theorists to perceive their objects of research as well-defined problems to which clear-cut solutions can be found and prescribed as policy proposals, addressed at the policymaker or the democratic sovereign. This perspective frequently excludes important empirical phenomena from the research agenda. Although, for example, certain well-defined informational asymmetries are frequently modeled, fundamental knowledge problems such as ignorance of the true model of the economy are usually ignored. In the present paper, this approach is criticized from a Hayekian point of view, with an emphasis on the problems of "scientism" (i.e., the inappropriate transfer of methods from the natural to the social sciences) and irremediably imperfect knowledge, troubling both the agents in the theoretical model and the theorist. Furthermore, it is argued and illustrated with two examples that an extension of Public Choice's research agenda along Hayekian lines may be fruitful, because it leads to a fresh perception even of such problems that already have been extensively researched within the traditional framework. 相似文献

An explanation for tax morale based upon a simple model of psychological costs that depend on the perceived legitimacy of
public policies is introduced. It is shown that empirically observed low levels of tax evasion can be explained even for a
risk-neutral taxpayer with such a model. In a discussion of aggregate tax revenue, it is argued that tax revenue as a function
of tax rates may differ fundamentally from the notorious Laffer curve. It is then necessary to look at the interaction of
formal and informal institutions to predict the nominal tax rates chosen by a revenue maximizer.

This paper offers a comparison of government centralization in the United States and in Germany. After briefly laying out
the history of federalism in both countries, we identify the instruments of centralization at work. It is argued that an initial
constitutional framework of competitive federalism does not prevent the long-term centralization of competencies. Against
a background of historical evidence, we discuss the political economics of government centralization. It is argued that formal
institutions clearly have an effect on the pathways of government centralization, but not necessarily on the broader trend
of centralization. The conclusion is reached that preservation of state and local autonomy may eventually hinge on informal
political institutions. 相似文献

The sociologist R. Dahrendorf has recently suggested that thereis no and there ought to be no convergence of economic policiestowards some common ideal model. On the contrary, he statesthat diversity is [...] at the very heart of a worldthat has abandoned the need for closed, encompassing systems.It is shown in this paper that the Dahrendorf hypothesis isdifficult to reconcile with orthodox economic approaches toeconomic policy-making. A perspective on policy-making thatintroduces either fundamental uncertainty or endogenous policypreferences or both is, however, shown to be consistent withthe Dahrendorf hypothesis. 相似文献

This paper examines the process of economic policy-making under conditions of model uncertainty. A median voter model is introduced in which the electorate is uncertain of the policy measures available as well as their respective outcomes and opinion formation is a social process of communication and contagion. Learning from experience is also considered. It is shown that economic policy-making under uncertainty produces novel policy routines, but that a mechanism of efficiently utilising the generated knowledge is missing.JEL Classification:
