Normative and Positive Social Work in the Context of the Placement Decision: A Defence of Social Workers 安置决定背景下的规范和积极的社会工作:为社会工作者辩护
Pub Date : 2019-11-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3394836

Two fundamental questions for social work are considered: one normative and one positive. First, is it possible for social work practice to be based on an objective that maximises social welfare; and second, does social work practice actually conform to some objective, which may or may not maximise social welfare? These two questions are addressed in the context of one of the most important decisions made by social workers - the placement decision. It is argued that deriving a societal objective faces formidable theoretical problems, and that even if a well-defined criterion was available, actual social work decisions would still be inconsistent due to a lack of the requisite information and different interpretations of the available data. It is argued that the substantial empirical evidence from around the world on the placement decision provides little evidence of consistent decision making. This may be because the statistical analyses have lacked the data and techniques necessary to detect the underlying patterns, or because placement decisions are largely random. The apparent absence of clear objectives, either specified by society or accepted custom and practice, places social workers in a very difficult position, making them open to press criticism and victimization, even though they acted entirely competently.
考虑社会工作的两个基本问题:一个是规范性的,一个是积极的。首先,社会工作实践是否有可能以最大化社会福利的目标为基础?第二,社会工作实践是否符合某些目标,这些目标可能会或可能不会最大化社会福利?这两个问题是在社会工作者做出的最重要决定之一——安置决定的背景下解决的。有人认为,得出一个社会目标面临着巨大的理论问题,即使有一个定义明确的标准,由于缺乏必要的信息和对现有数据的不同解释,实际的社会工作决策仍然会不一致。本文认为,来自世界各地的关于安置决策的大量经验证据几乎没有提供一致决策的证据。这可能是因为统计分析缺乏检测潜在模式所需的数据和技术,或者因为安置决定在很大程度上是随机的。由于缺乏明确的目标,无论是社会规定的还是公认的习俗和做法,社会工作者都处于非常困难的境地,使他们容易受到新闻界的批评和伤害,即使他们的行动完全称职。

Moved to Vote: The Long-Run Effects of Neighborhoods on Political Participation 移动到投票:社区对政治参与的长期影响
Pub Date : 2019-11-01 DOI: 10.3386/w26515

How does one's childhood neighborhood shape political engagement later in life? We study voting rates of children who were displaced by public housing demolitions and moved to higher opportunity areas using housing vouchers. Those displaced during childhood had 11% (2pp) higher participation in the 2016 Presidential election and were 10% (2.9pp) more likely to vote in any general election. We argue that the results are unlikely to be driven by changes in incarceration or parental outcomes, but rather by political socialization or improvements in education and earnings. These results suggest that housing assistance programs may reduce inequality in political participation.
一个人的童年环境如何影响他以后的政治参与?我们研究了因公共住房拆迁而流离失所的儿童的投票率,这些儿童使用住房券搬到了机会更高的地区。在2016年的总统选举中,童年时期流离失所的人的投票率高出11%(2%),在任何大选中投票的可能性高出10%(2.9%)。我们认为,这些结果不太可能是由监禁或父母结果的变化所驱动的,而是由政治社会化或教育和收入的提高所驱动的。这些结果表明,住房援助计划可能会减少政治参与方面的不平等。

This paper provides new evidence on the existence of a political budget cycle at the intermediate governance level. The empirical analysis is conducted on a panel dataset of the Italian regions over the period 2000-2016. Regional primary deficits are found to be significantly higher in the last year of office and in the election year with respect to the other years of office. Results are robust across the different methods and specification considered, and do not vary even if we restrict the sample time-span or distinguish between regional statutes.

Internet Access and Electoral Participation in Colombia: Voter Apathy at the Polls. 哥伦比亚的互联网接入与选举参与:选民在投票时的冷漠。
Pub Date : 2019-10-27 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3759775

This paper studies the effect of expanding internet access on electoral outcomes at the municipality level in Colombia. I use a difference-in-differences strategy that compares electoral outcomes in municipalities that received the internet right before the presidential election, with those that received it afterwards. I find that internet access reduced political participation at the polls. This behavior is reflected in a decrease in voter turnout, a decrease in the number of votes for candidates and an increase in blank votes. This apathetic behavior was motivated by the lack of trust in the government institutions, and the low enforcement in policies against corruption from the politicians.
本文研究了扩大互联网接入对哥伦比亚市级选举结果的影响。我采用了一种“差中之差”的策略,将在总统选举前接入互联网的城市与在总统选举后接入互联网的城市的选举结果进行比较。我发现互联网接入降低了选民的政治参与度。这种行为反映在投票率的下降、候选人的选票数量的减少和空白选票的增加上。这种冷漠行为的动机是对政府机构缺乏信任,以及政治家对反腐败政策的执行不力。

English Abstract: The article covers the study conducted for a graduation paper of the University of Tartu in Estonia, in the academic year 2018/2019, on the impact of the administrative reform on the provision of public services in Estonia based on the case of the small settlements of the Jõgeva County located in East Estonia. Based on extensive sources of literature, the essence of the local government and public services and the need for their provision in Estonia in connection with the administrative reform are brought out. Organisation of the provision of public services by local governments in Estonian small settlements is described. A survey is conducted in municipalities in the course of the study. The conclusions drawn on the basis of the results of the survey make it possible to make proposals to local governments for increasing the number of public services, extending the provision of services and raising their quality.

Vulnerability of Voting Paradoxes As a Criteria For Voting Procedure Selection 投票悖论脆弱性作为投票程序选择的标准
Pub Date : 2019-10-18 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3471868

Correct aggregation of individual preferences into collective one is central problem of nowadays Social Choice theory. After the Arrow’s and Gibbard–Satterthwaite impossibility theorems it became clear that our desire to justify an electoral procedure is doomed to failure. At the same time a lot of scholars continued exploring different properties of existing voting rules and constructing the new ones. Contemporary research in this area explore two main properties of aggregation procedures — their degree of manipulability and computational complexity of manipulation. Quantitative evaluations of these properties tend to be main criteria of voting procedure selection. But last decades it turned out that another threat for theory of voting is incompatibilities and unexpected outcomes of different kind, usually called paradoxes. This article provides complete systematization of voting paradoxes known for today. We also presented an attempt to formulate a complete proof of the (in)stability of seven most common used voting rules to paradoxes of any type, which had not been undertaken before. Our results show that different voting procedures are qualitatively different in the sense of vulnerability to voting paradoxes which makes reasonable to propose additional criteria of voting procedure selection and opens the gate for further quantitative research.
将个人偏好正确地聚合为集体偏好是当今社会选择理论的核心问题。在阿罗和吉巴德-萨特思韦特的不可能性定理之后,很明显,我们为选举程序辩护的愿望注定要失败。与此同时,许多学者继续探索现有投票规则的不同属性,并构建新的投票规则。该领域的当代研究探索了聚合过程的两个主要特性——可操作程度和操作的计算复杂性。这些属性的定量评价往往是投票程序选择的主要标准。但在过去的几十年里,事实证明,对投票理论的另一个威胁是不兼容和不同类型的意外结果,通常被称为悖论。这篇文章提供了今天已知的投票悖论的完整系统。我们还提出了一项尝试,即针对任何类型的悖论,对七个最常用的投票规则的(不)稳定性进行完整的证明,这是以前从未做过的。我们的研究结果表明,不同的投票程序在易受投票悖论影响的程度上存在质的差异,这为提出投票程序选择的附加标准提供了合理的依据,并为进一步的定量研究打开了大门。

Parallel Reorganizations under the Recast European Insolvency Regulation – A Hypothetical Case Study 重组欧洲破产法规下的平行重组——一个假设的案例研究
Pub Date : 2019-10-02 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3464162
Tomáš Richter
This article aims to explore the implications of the repeal, through the recast European Insolvency Regulation 2015/848, of the rules in Article 3(3) and Article 27 of the original EIR which required that secondary insolvency proceedings take the form of a liquidation (winding-up). The article's goal is to start to develop an understanding of what will – and what will not – be feasible within the new regulatory framework laid down for non-liquidation secondary proceedings under the Recast EIR. In doing so, the article analyses the new EU regime in the setting of a notional experiment – a hypothetical corporate debtor who wishes to reorganize in parallel proceedings in the Czech Republic, where it is incorporated and where its COMI is, and in the Slovak Republic, where it has its only establishment. The article therefore tests the key variables of parallel non-liquidations conducted under the Recast EIR not in the abstract but in the context of real-life rules on reorganizations contained in insolvency codes of Member State which have both adopted relatively modern provisions on reorganizations, broadly modelled on the U.S. Chapter 11 template. Based on the outcomes of the notional experiment, the article concludes that in principle, the Recast EIR provides EU debtors with a feasible cross-border platform to reorganize in more than one Member State, provided that the insolvency laws of the Member States involved show a reasonable degree of convergence.
本文旨在通过修订后的欧洲破产法规2015/848,探讨废除原EIR第3(3)条和第27条规则的影响,这些规则要求二级破产程序采取清算(清盘)的形式。本文的目标是开始理解在Recast EIR下为非清算二级程序制定的新监管框架内,什么是可行的,什么是不可行的。在此过程中,本文以一种假想的实验为背景分析了新的欧盟制度- -一个假想的公司债务人希望在捷克共和国和斯洛伐克共和国的平行程序中进行重组,捷克共和国是它的注册地和COMI所在地,斯洛伐克共和国是它唯一的机构。因此,本文不是在抽象的情况下,而是在会员国破产法典中所载的关于重组的现实规则的背景下,测试了在重新编制的企业环境影响下进行的平行非清算的关键变量,这些规则都采用了相对现代的重组条款,广泛模仿了美国第11章的模板。基于概念实验的结果,本文得出结论,原则上,只要所涉及成员国的破产法显示出合理的趋同程度,Recast EIR为欧盟债务人提供了一个在多个成员国进行重组的可行跨境平台。

Do Expert Panelists Herd? Evidence from FDA Committees 专家小组成员会从众吗?来自FDA委员会的证据
Pub Date : 2019-10-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3476536
Melissa Newham, Rune Midjord
We develop a structural model to address the question whether, and to what extent, expert panelists engage in herd behavior when voting on important policy questions. Our data comes from FDA advisory committees voting on questions concerning the approval of new drug applications. We utilize a change in the voting procedure from sequential to simultaneous voting to identify herding. Estimates suggest that around half of the panelists are willing to vote against their private assessment if votes from previous experts indicate otherwise and, on average, 9 percent of the sequential votes are actual herd-votes. Temporary committee members are more prone to herding than regular (standing) members. We find that simultaneous voting improves information aggregation given our estimates.
我们开发了一个结构模型来解决专家小组成员在对重要政策问题进行投票时是否以及在多大程度上参与羊群行为的问题。我们的数据来自FDA咨询委员会对新药申请批准问题的投票。我们利用投票过程从顺序投票到同步投票的变化来识别羊群现象。据估计,如果之前专家的投票结果与此相反,那么大约一半的小组成员愿意投票反对他们的私人评估,平均而言,9%的连续投票实际上是集体投票。临时委员比常任委员更容易从众。根据我们的估计,我们发现同步投票改善了信息聚合。

Social Status Concerns and the Political Economy of Publicly Provided Private Goods 社会地位关注与公共提供的私人物品的政治经济学
Pub Date : 2019-10-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3476533
J. Friedrichsen, Tobias König, Tobias Lausen
We analyse the political economy of the public provision of private goods when individuals care about their social status. Status concerns motivate richer individuals to vote for the public provision of goods they themselves buy in markets: a higher provision level attracts more individuals to the public sector, enhancing the social exclusivity of market purchases. Majority voting may lead to a public provision that only a minority of citizens use. Users in the public sector may enjoy better provision than users in the private system. We characterise the coalitions that can prevail in a political equilibrium.
我们分析了当个人关心自己的社会地位时,公共提供私人物品的政治经济学。对地位的关注促使较富有的个人投票支持公共部门提供他们自己在市场上购买的商品:较高的供应水平吸引更多的个人进入公共部门,增强了市场购买的社会排他性。多数投票可能导致只有少数公民使用的公共条款。公共部门的用户可能比私人系统的用户享有更好的服务。我们描述了能够在政治均衡中获胜的联盟。

The Likelihood of the Referendum Paradox for a Given Referendum Result 给定公投结果的公投悖论的可能性
Pub Date : 2019-09-13 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.3453468
P. Blavatskyy
The referendum (or compound majority) paradox occurs when the majority of voters in the majority of districts supports an issue/candidate but the majority of voters across all districts opposes the same issue/candidate (or vice versa). We calculate the likelihood of this social choice anomaly for any (possibly large) odd number of districts and any (possibly large) odd number of voters per district. The likelihood of the paradox is close to 50% when the issue/candidate is divisive (voters across all districts are split almost 50%-50%). The paradox virtually disappears when the issue/candidate is supported/opposed by at least two-thirds of all voters.
当大多数地区的大多数选民支持某一议题/候选人,但所有地区的大多数选民反对同一议题/候选人(反之亦然)时,就会出现公投(或复合多数)悖论。我们计算任何(可能很大的)奇数选区和每个选区任何(可能很大的)奇数选民的这种社会选择异常的可能性。当问题/候选人分裂时,悖论的可能性接近50%(所有选区的选民几乎是50%-50%)。当某个议题/候选人得到至少三分之二选民的支持/反对时,这个悖论实际上就消失了。
