This paper investigates the impact of FDI on carbon emissions in China's manufacturing sector, using statistical data from 2003 to 2020 as a reference. To account for heterogeneity industries, we classify them into three categories based input factors: resource-intensive, technology-intensive, and labor-intensive. Our main findings are follows: there is negative correlation between CO2 manufacturing. Specifically, has positive effect reducing capital-intensive, labor-intensive with strongest...

Studies of state fiscal and budgetary policies often use balanced budget requirements (BBRs) as explanatory variables. While current measures laid the crucial groundwork for a basic understanding BBRs, their lack comprehensiveness threatens validity empirical work. Based on comprehensive legal research, this article offers framework analyzing requirements: each state's BBRs form coherent system achieving balance through cycles; fully developed BBR three‐line construct against imbalance; more...
The authors examine the track record of applying performance‐based budgeting (PBB) across three time periods within a sample U.S. state governments: (1) throughout 1990s, (2) in early 2000s, and (3) during Great Recession. State‐level PBB is analyzed according to four elements: development performance measures, its applicability management processes, utility business cycle, (4) usefulness for budget players. An analytical framework devised that highlights “publicness” American government,...
This paper employs panel vector autoregression to examine the dynamic fiscal response natural disasters. With 50-state, 1970–2013 data on state government finance and disaster damage, we estimate impacts revenue, expenditure, debt issuance, federal-state transfers. We find that following a disaster, states increase program expenditure receive more federal Disasters have limited impact total tax revenues but amplify fluctuations in sales, income, property revenues. Our findings suggest...
This article strictly defines the budget stabilization fund (BSF) as a counter‐cyclical reserve, and with panel data set examines effects of BSF general unreserved undesignated balances (UUB) on stabilizing state expenditure during downturns. The finds that BSFs bolster spending in lean years: each percentage point increase balance percent can minimize negative gap by quarter point. But does not find evidence UUB is fiscal tool, indicating wide adoption may have changed nature use UUB.
Amid the focus of public management reforms on improving performance organizations and their managers, there has been little empirical attention to links between systems activities; paid how under what circumstances `management matters.' This study reports data from Government Performance Project (GPP), with information all 50 states. The GPP model argues that fundamental are not only amenable comparison across states but can provide critical components capacity is basic longer term...
This essay is a theoretical exploration of new budgetary system to cope with fiscal uncertainty and instability. 1 It examines policies requiring positive year‐end balances infers that annual budget cycles lead mismatch between the cycle continuity public service provision. The author considers multiyear perspective on budgeting as potential solution, countercyclical reserves help ensure stability during fluctuating economic conditions. By adopting stabilization funds keeping sufficient...
Governments often use multiple policy instruments for pursuing goals with mutually reinforcing effects. These effects include supplementation and substitution. This article examines both by studying two of state budget stabilization policy: general fund balances funds. States normally maintain surpluses in the fund. In recent decades, many also created separate funds to guard against economic downturns. Empirical results show that substitution occurs between these instruments. other words,...
Globalization has been challenging the theory and practice of Public Administration at an unprecedented level. Major policy issues cross national boundaries cannot be solved without international collaboration—even domestic will better understood addressed with a global perspective. To advance building, we need to examine across ethnodemographic divisions in order understand explain context-specific phenomena. ensure Administration's relevance practice, must reach out public administration...
The fiscal crisis encountered by state-local governments since 2008 has again made prominent the issue of how to better prepare for and stabilize expenditures during recessions. Does stabilization function government, its theory, still hold? Previous studies focus on federal state levels; only a few look at local governments. This article explores whether localities save spend across boom-bust cycle; we intend identify determinants government savings estimate impact stabilizing expenditures....
Although much public scrutiny and academic attention has focused on the evaluations of system implementation since beginning New Rural Cooperative Medical System (NRCMS) in China, few studies have systematically evaluated achievements stated policy goals. The purpose this study is to examine what extent goals NRCMS been achieved. Using multistage sampling processes, two rounds cross-sectional household surveys including 9787 7921 rural households were conducted Eastern China year 2000 2008,...
A growing literature has sought to demonstrate when and how government capacity links performance. This article examines those questions in the area of financial management. basic challenge for state governments is maintain budgetary stability program predictability face economic downturns. State can best meet this by developing what we call countercyclical fiscal (CCFC). We present concept CCFC as creation use tools that help spending during revenue shocks. operationalize terms reserves are...
Abstract This study tests the effects of balanced budget requirements on three measures state expenditure using data 48 states for years 1950–2004. We find that following rules are effective in constraining expenditures: (1) requiring governor submits a budget; (2) placing controls supplemental appropriations; and (3) prohibiting carry‐over deficit from one fiscal year or biennium into next. The latter two exert larger individual than first. All else equal, can best improve their prospects...
This article examines what leads to high balances of the budget stabilization fund (BSF) make it a countercyclical fiscal tool. Checking state BSF laws, this classifies structural features into purposes, funding sources, balance caps, and use approval procedures. Using panel data (1979–1999) controlling for related variables, tests features' effects on levels over sample period different phases economy identify specific in boom lean years. The also forwards policy recommendations governments...
Public Administration (PA) is a field characterized by great diversity in theoretical approaches and methodological tactics. This wide scope lends itself to potential epistemological fragmentation, which prevents scholars from adequately appreciating building on each other's work. Although many value PA's diversity, this intellectual brings some important trade-offs that must be acknowledged. We see three future challenges for the as (1) supporting application of diverse rigorous approaches,...
ABSTRACT Effective governance requires maintaining a balance between central political control and subnational discretion. However, empirical evidence remains limited thin on how different instruments may affect the level of In this study, we argue that top‐down inspection, as an instrument control, disrupt discretion in policymaking, is, repeatedly declines then rebounds toward its initial or normal level. This phenomenon is most likely to occur when inspection combined with...
While local option sales taxes (LOST) have become an important revenue source for governments, there has been concern about the distribution of LOST revenues: uneven tax bases may introduced a new fiscal inequality and exacerbated existing disparity. Using Georgia county data ( N =159, 1970–2000), this study examines whether how affected Our findings suggest that effects on disparity vary with approach to measure revenue‐raising capacity; thus issue is sensitive underlying conceptualization...
