Abstract We explore the effects of decentralization on education and health in Ethiopia using an original database covering all of the country’s regions and woredas (local governments). Ethiopia is a remarkable case in which war, famine and chaos in the 1970s–80s were followed by federalization, decentralization, rapid growth, and dramatic improvements in human development. Did decentralization contribute to these successes? We use time series and panel data analyses to show that decentralization improved net enrollments in primary schools and access to antenatal care for pregnant women. The main channel appears to be institutional, not fiscal. We offer the database as an additional contribution.

O objetivo deste trabalho é testar a hipótese de flypaper na administração pública municipal do estado do Ceará.Para tal, foi construído um painel de dados com informações sobre os gastos, a arrecadação, a população e as transferências constitucionais para os 184 municípios cearenses entre 1999 e 2009. Tais informações foram extraídas juntoà Secretaria do Tesouro Nacional e ao Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística. A metodologia utilizada remete-se aomodelo de dados em painel com efeito aleatório. Os resultados destacam que a elasticidade gasto-renda supera aelasticidade gasto-transferência e, portanto, as administrações municipais estão isentas da prática descrita pelo efeitoflypaper.Palavras-chave: Flypaper; gasto; transferência; dados em painelANALYZING THE BEHAVIOR OF THE PUBLIC SPENDING IN CEARÁ’S CITIESAbstract: The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis flypaper in municipal public administration in the state of Ceará.To this end, was built a panel with information on expenditures, revenues, population and constitutional transfers to the 184municipalities of Ceará between 1999 and 2009. Such information was extracted together with the National Treasury and theBrazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics. The methodology used is referred to the panel data with random effect model.The results highlight that the elasticity spending exceeds income-elasticity worn-transfer and, therefore, local governments are exempt from the practice described by flypaper effect.Keywords: Flypaper, expenditure, transfer, panel data.

The Empirical Analysis

Taking into account the three-sector general equilibrium perspective of the government, business, and household sectors and taking government public goods investment as intermediary; this article builds mathematical models of local governmental competition and three-sector consumption. It also theoretically analyzes the impacting path of local governmental competition, causing increased investment in public goods, thereby reducing consumption. At the same time, based on the model of China's provincial panel data from 1993 to 2015, the empirical analysis shows that a 1% increase in the level of competition among local governments will result in a corresponding decrease of 0.757% in total consumption, 0.348% in governmental competition, 0.340% in business consumption and 0.366% in household consumption. Local governmental competition leads to the government's tendency to invest in public goods and reduces the regional consumption, which especially damages the consumption capacity of the household sector.

Analysis Of Jurisdiction

Although a substantial number of studies have reported that drug courts reduced the recidivism of graduates (Wilson et al., 2006), a series of recent analyses suggested that drug courts and similar programs were associated with unintended crime outcomes in cities and counties across the nation (Lilley and Boba, 2008; Miethe et al., 2000; Peters et al., 2002; Worrall et al., 2009). Given that over 220,000 offenders participated in this alternative to incarceration and most did not successfully complete the drug court program, jurisdictional crime may have been impacted. A series of panel data analyses were conducted among more than 5,000 jurisdictions nationwide from 1995 to 2002 to assess the impact of drug court implementation grants on UCR Part I felony offenses. Consistent with prior findings, drug court implementation grants were associated with net increases in vehicle theft, burglary, larceny, and some violent offenses. Possible explanations for these unintended outcomes are discussed along with recommendations for adjustments to current drug court programs across the nation.
