ABSTRACT Scholars, practitioners, and policymakers agree that the eligibility criteria used for determining welfare benefit recipients must be efficient, equitable, and possess few measurement errors. This study analyzes Korea’s system of using contributions to the National Health Insurance as an eligibility criterion for determining welfare benefit recipients and evaluates whether the system has these aforementioned characteristics, using the case of the COVID-19 stimulus payment distributed in the city of Jeonju. The analysis shows that while the system is favorable from an efficiency perspective, it is less desirable in terms of the other two characteristics. Based on the findings, this study proposes using tax return and employment insurance data, as such databases can help solve the equity and measurement error issues associated with the use of the current system.

ABSTRACT Market solutions have increasingly been utilized at all levels of government to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and improve quality. However, scholars have raised concerns that business-like approaches may eclipse or even discredit the other core values of public administration, such as equity, in the pursuit of the values of the market. As equity is often the central question of taxation, this study explores how market-oriented administrative reforms affect equity focusing on the effect of outsourcing in property tax administration. The findings indicate that outsourcing can preserve equity in taxation and even improve the outcome in certain service areas.

ABSTRACT This study proposes a framework of data-driven administration built on both data and value dimensions and thereby suggests four possible types arising from cases (data-rich and value neutral, data-rich and value-controversial, data-poor and value-neutral, and data-poor and value-controversial). Using an exploratory case study approach, we discuss data-driven administration in the perspective of evidence-based policy-making. Following the tradition of evidence-based policy-making, the advancement of data analytics promotes data-driven administration to solve social problems and innovate government operations. We review relevant cases in Korea and then illustrates how the combinations of two dimensions make practices of data-driven administration successful or not. There is little study pointing out to be mindful of values embedded with social issues in certain domains, even when approached with data-driven administration. The framework of data-driven administration can be used for the better understanding of increasing data analytics practices in the public sector with guiding principles of data readiness and value controversy.

ABSTRACT This study explores the impacts of interpersonal networks of new managers on learning new roles from the social network perspective. This study draws on six waves of longitudinal data from a social network survey and semi-structured interviews collected from 22 new managers in a north-eastern state agency between October 2006 and May 2010. The analysis reveals that the interpersonal networks of new managers are particularly beneficial during the early period of role transition after the promotion. Second, managers organize interpersonal networks around role models who can provide valuable resources and feedback in a timely manner. Third, networks are gradually diversified into instrumental and expressive networks. Where the instrumental network tends to consist of multiplex ties with role models, the expressive network tends to shrink over time. The analysis highlights the instrumental values of one’s networks and the critical impact of role models during the managerial role transition process.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the aggravating and mitigating factors considered by the Investment Industry Regulatory Organization of Canada (IIROC) hearing panels in penalty imposition. This research is based on data from 386 individual offender sanction hearings between 2008 and 2019 that were collected from IIROC’s website. Descriptive and correlation analyses were used to analyze the data. The findings from this research indicate that mitigating factors have more influence on penalties than aggravating factors. More than two-thirds of the frequently found mitigating factors considered by IIROC are related to post-offense. Another significant finding is that more than two-thirds of the frequent aggravating factors considered are also found in the frequently identified but not considered aggravating factors. These findings indicate that hearing panels were using mitigating factors to mitigate sanctions as opposed to the aggravating factors, which can escalate sanctions. It is hard not to see the Ontario Securities Commission and Ottawa not using the findings to inform self-regulatory reforms in Canada.

ABSTRACT This paper examines the case of the Seoul Metropolitan Government’s new initiative for an independent pre-feasibility study, which is intended to enhance its capacity for decision-making in public investment. A cost-benefit analysis is optimistic when co-opted external policy analysts perform it. However, an independent research center specializing in feasibility studies significantly reduces this tendency and improves the quality of analyses. Moreover, a pre-feasibility study plays a catalytic role in bringing the policy community to embrace high-quality analytic information during policymaking. Our findings suggest that some allegedly incompetent local governments can make better and more correct public investment decisions through appropriate institutionalization of the policy analysis process.
