Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation is comprised of three independent essays that examine how exogenous law enforcement, historical events, and neighborhood environments shape public policies and political behaviors. The topics of each essay—strategic policy making, social capital, and Tiebout sorting—mirror the major policy issues currently faced by local governments in the U.S., specifically the accumulation of government deficits due to ethnic conflict and political competitions, the decaying democratic system due to eroding social capital, and residential segregation based on race and income. The causal analyses of these theories are often hampered by the unobservability of strategic intention, the time-invariability of social capital, and the endogeneity problem due to residential sorting. To overcome these challenges, my essays utilize exogenous variations of historical events, empirical implication of formal models, and various quasi-experimental methods, which identify the causal mechanisms of interest with a solid statistical foundation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis is a collection of independent empirical essays in the field of political economy. The first chapter investigates the electoral effects of a local public good provision, using a local food subsidy program that took place in Turkey, 2019. Exploiting the variation in the geographical distances of voters to the food subsidy program groceries, I establish three results. First, the food subsidy program has a statistically significant positive effect on the incumbent vote share. Second, the effects of the program are conditional on partisanship. Although the effects of the incumbent vote share do not change across different partisan groups, the effects on turnout are heterogeneous and countervailing across partisans of incumbent and opposition party. Finally, I find that much of the electoral effects of the program come from areas where voters are uniformly partisans of either party rather than from areas with mixed partisan profiles. The second chapter investigates the evolution of class distinctiveness in economic preferences across countries and over time. To this end, I first develop a new measure of class distinctiveness by using predictive modeling. I then estimate this new measure for 18 European countries for three points in time using micro-level survey data. After validating the newly developed measure, I test whether the variation in the strength of class-based voting can be explained by the class distinctiveness in economic preferences. In the third chapter, co-authored with Nicole Stoelinga, we test whether hosting or bidding on the Olympic games leads to an increase in the exports of the host and bidding countries. Previous studies on this question provide mixed findings and typically suffer from empirical problems such as selection bias. We re-evaluate the problem by applying a synthetic control approach. Our results indicate that hosting or bidding on the Olympic Games may affect exports positively or negatively depending on the countries' initial reputation in terms of trade.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquesta tesi esta composada per tres assaigs. Cadascún dels assaigs presenta investigació empírica original i independent analitzant els impactes de les connexions politiques sobre l'economia. Els articles fan una contribució significativa a aquesta literatura empírica, al mateix temps que subratllen les limitacions i desafiaments amb els que actualment s'enfronten els investigadors d'aquest camp. La recerca que aquí es presenta aplica desenvolupaments als metodes de recerca empirica que milloren la fiabilitat dels resultats. En el segon capitol s'estima l'impacte d'un aconteixement sorpresa a nivell polític sobre els retorns financers del mercat espanyol. Això inclou els impactes específics en determinats sectors i empreses que estan connectades políticament. En els últims dies de la campanya electoral per les eleccions generals espanyoles de l'any 2004, atacs terroristes van causar la mort de 191 persones que viatjaven en tren a la capital del país, Madrid. Quatre dies mes tard, el partit a l'oposició va guanyar les eleccions generals, en contra de totes les prediccions i enquestes que s'havien fet anteriorment a l'acció terrorista. Aquest canvi d'expectatives presenta una oportunitat única per aplicar tècniques d'event study per contrastar hipòtesis de política econòmica. L'anàlisi mostra que les hipòtesis de captura de polítics per empreses, junt amb problemes d'agència en empreses privatitzades i amb dispersió accionarial, no són rebutjades per les dades. En el tercer capítol, intento superar algunes de les limitacions de la recerca empírica en aquest camp, i exploro l'impacte de les connexions polítiques a les empreses en el rendiment empresarial. Ho faig fent servint les dos principals tècniques empíriques que es fan servir més comunment a la literatura economica: anàlisi centrat en establir les reaccions dels mercats financers a esdeveniments d'índole política; i anàlisi economètric de l'impacte de les connexions polítiques en el rendiment contable de les empreses. Els resultats de l'anàlisi indiquen que en els primers anys dels segle XXI, les connexions polítiques podrien haver tingut un impact negatiu sobre el rendiment de les empreses espanyoles. Tot i que els resultats basats en les reaccions dels mercats financers no són concloents, l'anàlisi economètric sobre mesures contables mostra una relació negativa i estadísticament significativa entre connexions polítiques i beneficis empresarials. Els resultats son consistents quan s'utilitzen diferents variables per mesurar el nivell de connexions polítiques, i també sota diverses especificacions economètriques que incloen regressions amb mètodes de variables instrumentals. Finalment, el capítol 4 considera l'influencia del sector privat en les decisions preses des de l'administració pública. Això contrasta amb l'anàlisi presentat en els dos capítols anteriors i a la majoria de recerca empírica en aquest camp, on el que es considera es generalment l'impacte de les connexions polítiques sobre els resultats econòmics empresarials. L'anàlisi està basat en dades del Regne Unit sobre la concessió de subsidis a empreses per dur a terme recerca i desenvolupament. L'agència responsable de la concessió de subsidis al Regne Unit, la Technology Strategy Board, s'encarrega en primer lloc d'identificar àrees de prioritat tecnològica. Un cop aquestes arees són aprovades i dotades de recursos pel Govern, l'agència s'encarrega de convocar concursos i seleccionar les propostes guanyadores. Els resultats de l'anàlisi suggereixen que el programa de subsidis, tot i ser efectiu en corretgir alguns errors de mercat, està esbiaixat en la distribució dels subsidis cap a aquelles empreses que estan directament connectades amb l'agència.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 3 (co-authored with Michael Egesdal and Martin Rotemberg) analyzes how the behavior of the Federal Open Market Committee changed after the statutory enforcement of transparency laws in 1993; to do so, we present new techniques to describe how language use changes over time. For a family of widely used vector space metrics, we demonstrate how to decompose aggregate changes into each individual dimension's contribution--such as a particular word or document's influence. The approach can be generalized to account for associations between document dimensions (such as word definitions or meanings). Using various documents released by the Federal Reserve from 1976 to 2007, covering both years in which the FOMC knew its deliberations would eventually be made public, and years in which it believed no records were kept, we find that FOMC deliberations became more similar to the always-public press releases in the transparency regime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new and comprehensive volume covering the subfield of comparative political economy provides a detailed overview over its intellectual roots, clarifies its contents, and introduces the readers to key debates while identifying new and exciting avenues for future research. Ideas, interests, and institutions have traditionally been the main focus points of this field, but the volume argues that culture provides an additional and often neglected area, providing the 'glue' that keeps national models of capitalism hanging together. The volume also develops pathways beyond the varieties of capitalism paradigm. Building on a thorough and rigorous review of comparative capitalisms and a synthesis of the research strands that have built the bedrock of this subfield, Comparative Political Economy explores the individual components of national models of capitalism and argues that these elements deserve closer scrutiny. Their permutations have been considerable over the past thirty years, and their study permits valuable insights both empirically and theoretically. The empirical coverage of the book includes chapters covering industrial relations, labour markets, systems of education and training, finance, welfare state, and debt. In the conclusion, research pathways forward are identified and the impact of energy security issues and environmental factors on the study of comparative capitalisms will be assessed.
