There is a well-documented “natural resource curse” whereby the presence of immobile natural resources leads to weaker economic performance and a deterioration in the quality of economic institutions and governance. We propose the novel hypothesis that a similar curse exists for historic resources such as the Egyptian Pyramids, Roman Colosseum, and Gettysburg Battlefield. These captive wealth-producing resources are also immobile and cannot flee from oppressive or inefficient government policies, enabling governments to levy high taxes, impose burdensome regulations, and expropriate property for preservation. Historic resources are therefore also associated with weaker economic performance, increased government corruption, and lower economic freedom.
“自然资源诅咒”是有据可查的说法,即不可移动的自然资源的存在导致经济表现较弱,经济机构和治理质量恶化。我们提出了一个新的假设,即类似的诅咒存在于埃及金字塔、罗马斗兽场和葛底斯堡战场等历史资源中。这些被禁锢的生产财富的资源也是固定的,无法摆脱压迫性或低效的政府政策,使政府能够征收高额税收,实施繁重的法规,并征收财产以保存。因此,历史资源也与较弱的经济表现、增加的政府腐败和较低的经济自由度有关。

One of the most important predictor variables in multistate studies of American municipal cash reserves is the state in which a municipality is located, and to date no research has explored why. In this paper, we show that two broad categories of variables can account for a large fraction of this puzzle. Average differences in financial variables and state-to-state institutional differences combine to absorb over 80% of the importance of state fixed effects, with financial variables mostly accounting for why cities in some states save less than the national average, and institutional variables doing a better job of accounting for why cities in some states save more than the national average.
在美国市政现金储备的多州研究中,最重要的预测变量之一是市政当局所在的州,到目前为止,还没有研究探究原因。在本文中,我们证明了两大类变量可以解释这个谜题的很大一部分。金融变量的平均差异和州与州之间的制度差异共同吸收了州固定效应80%以上的重要性,金融变量主要解释了为什么一些州的城市储蓄低于全国平均水平,而制度变量更好地解释了为什么某些州的城市存储高于全国平均水平。

The Effect of Presidential Particularism on Economic Well-Being: A County-Level Analysis 总统特殊主义对经济福祉的影响:一个县级分析

Does it pay to be a locale of political importance? Political business cycle theory predicts that the executive has an incentive to manipulate policy to increase the chances of their party remaining in office. In particular, core counties (those that vote for the current administration) have been shown to enjoy disproportionately higher federal spending. In this paper, we explore how this funding affects the well-being of an area by estimating the effect of presidential particularism on governmental transfers and (productive) income per-capita using county-level data from 1993 to 2012. We find that transfer payments tend to be higher and income lower in counties that vote for the current administration. These findings are robust across a wide number of specifications including fixed effects, first differences, a first differenced model with county-specific time trends, and a matching analysis. Moreover, results hold when examining the subset of counties that only voted for a single party throughout the entire sample where the treatment (whether the county voted for the current administration) is largely exogenous to the county in question.
成为一个具有政治重要性的地方值得吗?政治经济周期理论预测,高管有操纵政策的动机,以增加他们所在政党继续执政的机会。特别是,核心县(那些投票给现任政府的县)已经被证明享受了不成比例的更高的联邦支出。在本文中,我们使用1993年至2012年的县级数据,通过估计总统特殊主义对政府转移支付和人均(生产性)收入的影响,探讨了这种资金如何影响一个地区的福祉。我们发现,在支持现任政府的县,转移支付往往更高,收入往往更低。这些发现在包括固定效应、第一差异、具有特定国家时间趋势的第一差异模型和匹配分析在内的大量规范中都是稳健的。此外,当检查整个样本中只投票给单一政党的县子集时,结果仍然成立,其中的处理(该县是否投票给现任政府)在很大程度上是相关县的外生因素。

Online Open Budget: The Effects of Budget Transparency on Budget Efficiency 在线公开预算:预算透明度对预算效率的影响

The government budget should be operated efficiently and democratically to promote economic development and social welfare. This article investigates the claim that budget transparency can improve budget efficiency. Based on the 2017 introduction of the online open budget system in South Korea as an example, the difference-in-difference examination reveals that budget transparency reduces the size of the unused budget, an indicator of budget inefficiency. A battery of robustness tests supports this result. Moreover, improving budget efficiency has a more significant effect when budget projects are at the risk of agency problems. Our findings suggest that budget transparency through the online open budget system can enhance budget efficiency by encouraging the public's participation and alleviating the principal-agent problem.
政府预算应以有效和民主的方式运作,以促进经济发展和社会福利。本文研究了预算透明度可以提高预算效率的说法。以2017年韩国引入的在线开放预算系统为例,差异检验表明,预算透明度降低了未使用预算的规模,这是预算效率低下的一个指标。一组稳健性测试支持这一结果。此外,当预算项目面临机构问题的风险时,提高预算效率的效果更为显著。我们的研究结果表明,通过在线公开预算系统实现预算透明度可以通过鼓励公众参与和缓解委托代理问题来提高预算效率。

Countries with higher old-age dependency rates tend to rely less heavily on income taxes and more heavily on consumption taxes. We investigate this relationship in a panel of US states. To address endogeneity in a sub-national context due to migration, we use lagged in-state births to develop a new instrument for old-age dependency which is shown to be strong and relevant to the results. In an unbalanced panel spanning 1979–2013, we do find a negative relationship between old-age dependency ratio and income tax reliance. But, though persistent across specifications, it is not statistically significant under either ordinary least squares or instrumental variables despite strong instruments and a healthy sample size. We speculate as to what underlying mechanism might deliver a correlation that is robust among the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development countries but tepid among US states.
老年抚养率较高的国家往往对所得税的依赖程度较低,对消费税的依赖程度较高。我们在美国各州的一个小组中调查了这种关系。为了解决因移民而导致的次国家背景下的内生性问题,我们使用落后的州内出生来开发一种新的老年依赖工具,该工具被证明是强大且与结果相关的。在一个跨越1979-2013年的不平衡面板中,我们确实发现老年抚养比与所得税依赖之间存在负相关关系。但是,尽管跨规格持续存在,但在普通最小二乘或工具变量下,尽管有强大的工具和健康的样本量,它在统计上都不显着。我们推测,什么样的潜在机制可能导致这种相关性在经济合作与发展组织(oecd)成员国中表现强劲,但在美国各州中不温不热。

Fiscal Decentralization and the Composition of Local Government Expenditure: Evidence from South Korea 财政分权与地方政府支出构成:来自韩国的证据

The implicit idea underlying theories of fiscal federalism is that fiscal decentralization can change the composition of government expenditure. That is, regardless of whether decentralization enables governments to more readily reflect citizen preferences regarding spending categories or fosters a race to the bottom with reduced taxation and public service levels, change in the composition of government expenditure may ensue. This study indirectly tests the impact of decentralization with respect to allocative efficiency by examining the relationship between fiscal decentralization and expenditure composition. Utilizing data from 224 local governments in South Korea over the period 2008–2018, the study finds that fiscal decentralization exerts downward pressure on welfare expenditure and that it tends to shift spending from the current to the capital account. Specifically, it finds that it is mainly revenue-side decentralization that affects the allocation of government expenditure.
财政联邦制理论隐含的观点是,财政分权可以改变政府支出的构成。也就是说,无论权力下放是否使政府能够更容易地反映公民对支出类别的偏好,还是通过减少税收和公共服务水平来促进逐底竞争,政府支出的构成都可能发生变化。本研究通过考察财政分权与支出构成的关系,间接检验了分权对配置效率的影响。利用2008-2018年韩国224个地方政府的数据,该研究发现,财政分权对福利支出施加了下行压力,并倾向于将支出从经常账户转移到资本账户。具体而言,研究发现,影响政府支出分配的主要是收入侧分权。

We take stock of what is known about the consequences of actual value-added tax (VAT) systems, nearly 100 years since its conception. We benchmark it to the tax it most often replaced—the retail sales tax (RST). We do this not because we advocate a return to the RST, but because it allows us to evaluate the performance of two tax instruments in actual practice instead of comparing them to their idealized versions, which are never achieved. Doing so highlights different areas of focus than traditional comparisons to the “good” VAT. Like the RST, the VAT is weak at the final stage and technological advances that ameliorate VAT issues could also be applied to the RST. VAT introduces new evasion opportunities not possible in an RST such as invoice mills and carousel fraud. We propose new metrics and a research agenda to evaluate the “health” of the real VAT.
我们对实际增值税(VAT)制度的后果进行了评估,自其概念提出以来已有近100年的历史。我们将其与它最常取代的税收——零售销售税(RST)进行比较。我们这样做并不是因为我们提倡回归RST,而是因为它使我们能够评估两种税收工具在实际实践中的表现,而不是将它们与理想化的版本进行比较,而这是永远无法实现的。这样做突出了与传统的“好”增值税比较不同的关注领域。与RST一样,增值税在最后阶段很弱,改善增值税问题的技术进步也可以应用于RST。增值税带来了RST不可能的新逃税机会,如发票加工厂和转盘欺诈。我们提出了新的指标和研究议程,以评估实际增值税的“健康状况”。

Revisiting tax effort in emerging markets 重新审视新兴市场的税收努力

Insufficient tax revenues has been one of the most pervasive restrictions on investment in the social and economic infrastructure needed to close the development gaps in emerging markets (EM). To assess the potential for increasing tax collection, the literature has emphasized the concept of tax capacity and tax effort. Conceptually, tax effort is modeled as an inefficiency term with both time-varying and time-invariant components. These are commonly estimated through OLS or stochastic frontier analysis techniques. However, these strategies provide only point estimates and are limited in their ability to break down tax effort into time-varying and time-invariant components. We estimate tax effort for a balanced panel of 108 countries for which data were available from 2002 to 2017, using a Bayesian strategy that allows us to calculate the invariant inefficiency as an upper bound for a country’s tax effort. We also show that the GTRE model from Tsionas and Kumbhakar (2014) allows for more precise estimates, providing powerful tools for more informed fiscal planning.
税收不足一直是对填补新兴市场发展差距所需的社会和经济基础设施投资最普遍的限制之一。为了评估增加税收的潜力,文献强调了税收能力和税收努力的概念。从概念上讲,税收努力被建模为一个既有时变成分又有时不变成分的低效率项。这些通常通过OLS或随机前沿分析技术进行估计。然而,这些策略只提供点估计,并且将税收工作分解为时变和时不变成分的能力有限。我们使用贝叶斯策略估计了一个由108个国家组成的平衡小组的税收努力,这些国家的数据从2002年到2017年是可用的,该策略使我们能够计算出不变的低效率作为一个国家税收努力的上限。我们还表明,Tsionas和Kumbhakar(2014)的GTRE模型允许更精确的估计,为更知情的财政规划提供了强大的工具。

This paper examines the effects of states’ Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) on hospitals’ financial performance in the United States. Extending previous studies that primarily focus on the immediate short-term impact of the ACA's Medicaid expansion, we investigate if the fiscal effects persist over a longer-term and if the fiscal effects vary across different hospitals. Using panel data on hospitals from 2011 to 2018, we find that hospitals’ financial performance, as gauged either by Medicaid net revenue and uncompensated care cost or by multiple profitability measures, improves in Medicaid expansion states, and the positive effects continue over time. In addition, there are significant heterogeneities in the fiscal effects across different hospitals. Hospitals’ profitability improves the most in the public sector, rural areas, and less wealthy counties.
本文研究了各州根据《平价医疗法案》(ACA)扩大医疗补助对美国医院财务绩效的影响。扩展之前主要关注ACA医疗补助扩展的短期直接影响的研究,我们调查了财政影响是否会长期持续,以及不同医院的财政影响是否不同。使用2011年至2018年医院的面板数据,我们发现,无论是通过医疗补助净收入和无补偿护理成本,还是通过多种盈利指标衡量,医院的财务业绩在医疗补助扩张州都有所改善,而且积极影响会随着时间的推移而持续。此外,不同医院的财政效应存在显著的异质性。公共部门、农村地区和不太富裕的县的医院盈利能力提高幅度最大。
