Canada’s budding legal marijuana market requires federal-provincial cooperation in order to succeed, according to a new C.D. Howe Institute report. In “Joint Venture: A Blueprint for Federal and Provincial Marijuana Policy,” author Anindya Sen argues that the federal government should retain powers over health and safety regulations, and provinces should have the freedom to design their own distribution systems.
根据C.D. Howe研究所的一份新报告,加拿大刚刚萌芽的合法大麻市场需要联邦和各省的合作才能取得成功。在《合资企业:联邦和省级大麻政策蓝图》一书中,作者Anindya Sen认为,联邦政府应该保留对健康和安全法规的权力,各省应该有自由设计自己的分销系统。

TTIP Negotiations and Public Procurement: A Federalist Approach TTIP谈判与公共采购:联邦主义方法
Pub Date : 2016-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2958136
M. Corvaglia
Government procurement is perhaps one of the most under-explored areas in the recent academic literature on transatlantic economic relations and yet it is also one of the most protected economic sectors addressed in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations. Even though the EU and the US have undertaken extensive reciprocal procurement commitments under the WTO’s Agreement on Government Procurement, as well as in their respective preferential trade agreements (PTAs), the liberalisation and harmonisation of the transatlantic procurement market could not be more ambiguous or controversial. This paper aims to deepen our understanding of crucial aspects of the current EU–US procurement relationship. To this end, the paper explores the TTIP negotiations as well as similar PTAs and underlines the potential implications in terms of the fragmentation of the international discipline of procurement regulation.
政府采购可能是最近关于跨大西洋经济关系的学术文献中最未被充分探讨的领域之一,但它也是跨大西洋贸易和投资伙伴关系(TTIP)谈判中最受保护的经济部门之一。尽管欧盟和美国在世贸组织的《政府采购协定》(Agreement on Government procurement)以及各自的优惠贸易协定(pta)中都作出了广泛的互惠采购承诺,但跨大西洋采购市场的自由化和协调化却非常模棱两可或充满争议。本文旨在加深我们对当前欧盟-美国采购关系关键方面的理解。为此,本文探讨了TTIP谈判以及类似的pta,并强调了采购监管国际纪律碎片化的潜在影响。

Conditional Federal Spending after Lopez 洛佩兹之后的有条件联邦支出
Pub Date : 2015-10-17 DOI: 10.2307/1123272
Lynn A. Baker
This Article argues that the U.S. Supreme Court should reinterpret the Spending Clause to work in tandem, rather than at odds, with its post-Lopez reading of the Commerce Clause. Any substitute for the standard of review set out in South Dakota v. Dole, however, must reconcile two potentially conflicting goals. It must strive to safeguard both state autonomy and the related principle of a federal government of enumerated powers by restricting Congress from using conditional offers of federal funds in order to regulate the states in ways that it could not directly mandate. At the same time it must preserve for Congress a power to spend that is greater and broader than its power to regulate the states directly. Thus, this Article proposes that the Court presume invalid that subset of offers of federal funds to the states which, if accepted, would regulate the states in ways that Congress could not directly mandate under its other Article I powers. This presumption could be rebutted by a judicial finding that the offer of funds constitutes "reimbursement spending" rather than "regulatory spending" legislation. The Article begins by discussing both the problem posed by conditional offers of federal funds to the states and the insights into that problem afforded by traditional formulations of the unconstitutional conditions doctrine. A brief examination of the development of the Supreme Court's jurisprudence in this area and a review of the academic commentary follow. Part II offers three normative arguments which, taken together, demonstrate that the courts should presume invalid those conditional offers of federal funds to the states that seek to regulate them in ways Congress could not achieve directly. Thus, these arguments also explain both why the Dole test needs rethinking and why the proposed test is preferable, if still imperfect. Part III begins with a critique of the major proposals for reforming Spending Clause doctrine that have been offered to date. It then presents the proposed test and explains the operation of, and reasons for, the critical distinction the test makes between "reimbursement spending" and "regulatory spending" legislation. This Part concludes by considering four congressional enactments (two actual and two hypothetical), under both the prevailing Dole test and the proposed test.
本文认为,美国最高法院应该重新解释“支出条款”,以便与洛佩兹案之后对“商业条款”的解读相一致,而不是相抵触。然而,任何替代南达科他州诉多尔案中规定的审查标准的方法,都必须调和两个潜在的相互冲突的目标。它必须通过限制国会使用有条件的联邦资金来以它不能直接授权的方式管理各州,从而努力维护各州的自治权和枚举权力的联邦政府的相关原则。与此同时,它必须为国会保留比其直接管理各州的权力更大、更广泛的支出权力。因此,本条建议法院假定向各州提供的联邦资金的一部分无效,如果接受这些资金,将以国会根据其第一条的其他权力无法直接授权的方式对各州进行监管。这一假设可以被一项司法裁决所驳斥,即提供资金构成“报销支出”而不是“监管支出”立法。本文首先讨论了有条件地向各州提供联邦资金所带来的问题,以及违宪条件原则的传统表述对该问题的见解。以下是对最高法院在这一领域的法学发展的简要考察,以及对学术评论的回顾。第二部分提供了三个规范性的论点,这些论点合在一起表明,法院应该假定那些有条件地向各州提供联邦资金是无效的,这些州试图以国会无法直接实现的方式对其进行监管。因此,这些论点也解释了为什么多尔测试需要重新思考,以及为什么拟议的测试更可取,如果仍然不完美的话。第三部分首先对迄今为止提出的改革支出条款原则的主要建议进行批评。然后,它提出了拟议的测试,并解释了该测试在“报销支出”和“监管支出”立法之间做出的关键区别的操作和原因。本部分最后考虑了四个国会立法(两个实际的和两个假设的),在现行的多尔检验和提议的检验下。

The Political Development of Urban Policy: Understanding the Role of Ideas and Institutions Through Intercurrence 城市政策的政治发展:通过相互作用理解思想和制度的作用
Pub Date : 2014-08-08 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2477932

Congress authorizes and funds various urban redevelopment programs, and local actors attempt to use these programs to address urban issues and concerns, yet many policies do not live up to expectations. Urban scholars tend to focus on local political or economic arrangements to explain this phenomenon, while public policy scholars emphasize the role of special interest or bureaucratic influence on policy success/failure. In this paper, I suggest a new framework for examining urban policy: intercurrence. I operationalize this theoretical framework, drawn from the political science subfield of American political development (APD), to examine the ideas and institutional ordering mechanisms manifest in the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA). I argue that policy creation and evolution can best be understood by looking at ideas about and the institutional arrangements embedded within urban policy, specifically the relationship between the public and private sectors, between state, local and federal governments, and between the Executive and Legislative branches.
国会授权并资助各种城市重建项目,地方行动者试图利用这些项目来解决城市问题和关注的问题,但许多政策没有达到预期。城市学者倾向于关注当地的政治或经济安排来解释这一现象,而公共政策学者则强调特殊利益或官僚影响对政策成败的作用。在本文中,我提出了一个审视城市政策的新框架:干预。我将这一理论框架运用于美国政治发展(APD)的政治学分支领域,以检验《社区再投资法案》(CRA)中体现的思想和制度排序机制。我认为,要理解政策的产生和演变,最好的方法是研究城市政策中的理念和制度安排,特别是公共和私营部门之间,州、地方和联邦政府之间,以及行政和立法部门之间的关系。

Central Targets and Local Agendas: Missing Lisbon 2010 中央目标和地方议程:错过2010年里斯本
Pub Date : 2014-06-03 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2161985
M. Antonelli, V. Grembi
In a decentralized setting, are policy targets imposed by the central government on local elected officials effective? And when? We address these questions in Italy, where the central government has set a target for childcare coverage at the municipal level for Southern regions since 2007. We first implement a difference-in-differences estimator where the municipalities already complying with the target comprise the control group. We then implement a triple-difference estimator with the additional control group of municipalities in the bordering Central regions. Our results show that elected officials comply with the target mainly when it is coherent with voters’ preferences (as measured by the characteristics of the resident female population) and in reaction to political incentives (as measured by partisan alignment among levels of government).
在权力下放的环境下,中央政府对地方民选官员施加的政策目标是否有效?当吗?我们在意大利解决了这些问题,自2007年以来,意大利中央政府为南部地区的市级托儿服务覆盖率设定了目标。我们首先实现一个差中差估计器,其中已经符合目标的市政当局组成了控制组。然后,我们在毗邻的中部地区的城市的额外控制组中实现了三差估计器。我们的研究结果表明,当选官员主要在与选民的偏好(通过常住女性人口的特征来衡量)和对政治激励的反应(通过各级政府之间的党派联盟来衡量)相一致的情况下遵守目标。

James Buchanan and Contractarian Anarchy 詹姆斯·布坎南和契约无政府主义
Pub Date : 2013-09-11 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2324373
A. Salter
This paper traces the normative side of James Buchanan’s individualist-subjectivist-contractarian position. The literature on anarchy and radical self-governance treats Buchanan’s position, and social contract theory more generally, as a rival rather than allied branch of analysis. However, I argue that Buchanan’s normative position, if taken to its logical conclusion, yields conclusions commensurate with anarchy. Buchanan’s theory of individual sovereignty suggests that political action is justified only to the extent that it adheres to a social contract that meets the requirements of conceptual unanimity. It also suggests individuals have the right to secede from communities they feel no longer adhere to the social contract. These beliefs form the foundation of a social contract theory deserving the label "anarchic."
本文追溯了詹姆斯·布坎南的个人主义-主观主义-契约主义立场的规范方面。关于无政府状态和激进自治的文献将布坎南的立场以及更普遍的社会契约理论视为分析的竞争分支,而不是联合分支。然而,我认为,布坎南的规范性立场,如果采取其逻辑结论,得出的结论与无政府状态相当。布坎南的个人主权理论表明,政治行动只有在符合概念一致性要求的社会契约的情况下才是正当的。它还表明,个人有权脱离他们认为不再遵守社会契约的社区。这些信念构成了社会契约理论的基础,配得上“无政府主义”的标签。

Fiscal Federalism and Tax Administration -- Evidence From Germany 财政联邦制与税收征管——来自德国的证据
Pub Date : 2013-06-01 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2294400
Timm Bönke, Beate Jochimsen, Carsten Schröder
In many federations, fiscal equalization schemes soften fiscal imbalances across the member states. Such schemes usually imply that the member states internalize only a small fraction of the additional tax revenue from an expansion of the state-specific tax bases, while the remainder of the additional tax revenue is redistributed horizontally or vertically. We address the question as to which extent state-level jurisdictions in such a federation underexploit their tax bases. By means of a stylized model we show that the state authorities in such a federation have incentives to align the effective tax rates of their residents to the internalized fraction of marginal tax revenue. We empirically test the model using three setups: one state level exercise and two micro level exercises using administrative income-tax data in form of an OLS regression and a natural-experiments design. All setups support the results from our theoretical model.
在许多联邦中,财政均衡方案缓和了成员国之间的财政失衡。这类方案通常意味着,成员国只将扩大本国税基所带来的额外税收收入的一小部分内部化,而其余的额外税收收入则横向或纵向进行再分配。我们解决的问题是,在这种联邦中,州一级的司法管辖区在多大程度上剥削了他们的税基。通过一个模式化的模型,我们表明,在这样一个联邦中,国家当局有动机使其居民的有效税率与边际税收收入的内部化部分保持一致。我们使用三种设置对模型进行了实证检验:一个州层面的练习和两个微观层面的练习,使用行政所得税数据以OLS回归和自然实验设计的形式进行。所有的设置都支持我们的理论模型的结果。

Intergovernmental Transfers and Tax Collection in India: Does the Composition of Transfers Matter? 印度政府间转移支付与税收:转移支付的构成重要吗?
Pub Date : 2013-06-01 DOI: 10.1111/j.1540-5850.2013.12010.x
B. Dash, A. Raja
This study examines whether the impact of intergovernmental transfers on tax effort of Indian states depends on the composition of transfers (conditional vis‐a‐vis unconditional). It also tests the asymmetry hypothesis, which states that subnational governments respond to increases in transfers differently from losses. The evidence suggests that tax collections, including both indirect and direct taxes, are inversely related to unconditional transfers irrespective of whether they are increasing or decreasing. Imposition of conditions on transfers has prevented the Indian states from substituting such transfers for tax collection (direct tax collection is an exception). Direct tax collection responds most sensitively to transfers.
本研究考察了政府间转移对印度各邦税收努力的影响是否取决于转移的构成(有条件的vs无条件的)。它还检验了不对称假说,即地方政府对转移增加的反应与对损失的反应不同。有证据表明,税收,包括间接税和直接税,与无条件转移是负相关的,无论它们是增加还是减少。对转移支付施加条件使印度各邦无法用这种转移支付来代替税收征收(直接税是一个例外)。直接税对转移支付的反应最为敏感。

Local Governments and Decentralised Planning in Scheduled Areas of Odisha: Case Study of a Tribal District 奥里萨邦计划区的地方政府和分散规划:以部落地区为例
Pub Date : 2013-01-07 DOI: 10.2139/ssrn.2197200
B. Mohapatra
This paper traces the process of the formulation of Decentralised Planning in the Tribal Regions of Odisha while examining the case of Sundargarh District. The paper also tries to provide an analytical glimpse between the powers devolved to the Local Governments in the Scheduled Areas of Odisha to formulate Decentralised Planning and ground reality of preparation of such plans in the context of the implementation of the Provisions of Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA Act). Formulation of Decentralised Planning in Odisha was taken up in the year 2008. However, based on the secondary data and field experience, the paper has revealed that “structural impediments” and “functional incapacity” of the Local Governments in the Scheduled Areas have hampered the spirit of such institutions with regard to the planning and implementation of the development programs. The paper argues that Decentralised Plans should be realistic based on the effective utilisation of local resources. Local development issues should be prioritised and implementation should be done accordingly. The issues of participation, prioritisation of development needs and rationalisation of the required and available funds are suggested as policy measures considering the provisions of the PESA Act.
本文追溯了在奥里萨邦部落地区制定分散规划的过程,同时考察了Sundargarh地区的情况。本文还试图在实施Panchayats(扩展到计划区)法案(PESA法案)的背景下,对下放给奥里萨邦计划区地方政府制定分散规划的权力和编制此类计划的实际情况进行分析。2008年开始制定奥里萨邦的分散规划。然而,基于二手数据和实地经验,本文揭示了规划区内地方政府的“结构性障碍”和“功能无能”阻碍了这些机构在规划和实施发展计划方面的精神。本文认为,在有效利用地方资源的基础上,分散式规划应该是现实的。要突出地方发展问题,落实到位。考虑到《PESA法》的规定,建议将参与、发展需要的优先次序以及所需和可用资金的合理化等问题作为政策措施。

The paper also tries to provide an analytical glimpse between the powers devolved to the Local Governments in the Scheduled Areas of Odisha to formulate Decentralised Planning and ground reality of preparation of such plans in the context of the implementation of the Provisions of Panchayats (Extension to Scheduled Areas) Act (PESA Act). Formulation of Decentralised Planning in Odisha was taken up in the year 2008. However, based on the secondary data and field experience, the paper has revealed that “structural impediments” and “functional incapacity” of the Local Governments in the Scheduled Areas have hampered the spirit of such institutions with regard to the planning and implementation of the development programs. The paper argues that Decentralised Plans should be realistic based on the effective utilisation of local resources. Local development issues should be prioritised and implementation should be done accordingly. The issues of participation, prioritisation of development needs and rationalisation of the required and available funds are suggested as policy measures considering the provisions of the PESA Act.","PeriodicalId":265694,"journal":{"name":"PSN: Intergovernmental Relations & Federalism (Topic)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123045563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
