Beyond Markets and Hierarchies
Global diffusion ofCovid‐19 policies
In an unprecedented global crisis, like the COVID‐19 pandemic, when vertical global governance plays a relatively minor role, government leaders must obtain policy information cues from other governments' behaviors horizontally. This study builds on the policy diffusion literature to examine the distinct role of geographic, cultural, and institutional peers in influencing a country's policy adoptions throughout a diffusion episode. We theorize th…
Covid ‐19 emergency policies, financial security, and social equity
Using worldwide country‐level panel data of COVID‐19 emergency policies and aggregated survey responses of 46 million randomly sampled Facebook users, we study the impact of public health and economic measures on household financial worries among various demographic groups. The analysis reveals that public health interventions with stringent mobility restrictions—domestic lockdowns and international travel restrictions—increase the proportion of …
Policy Design for Covid ‐19
To understand the extent to which a policy instrument’s early adoption is crucial in crisis management, we leverage unique worldwide data that record the daily evolution of policy mandate adoptions and COVID‐19 infection and mortality rates. The analysis shows that the mask mandate is consistently associated with lower infection rates in the short term, and its early adoption boosts the long‐term efficacy. By contrast, the other five policy instr…
Tarifs discriminants et monopoles de l’eau potable
L’approche des tarifs de l’eau potable en France a changé depuis 2010, puisque les collectivités peuvent recourir à des tarifs progressifs croissants par blocs. Ces tarifs, bien qu’initialement conçus comme des solutions de second rang aux pertes sèches du monopole, se révèlent complexes à mettre en œuvre pour satisfaire d’autres objectifs. La réaction sous-optimale des consommateurs au signal-prix et les problématiques de redistribution question…
Culture and the Quality of Government
This article uses a cross‐country data set to empirically investigate the relationship between national culture and the quality of government. Culture has a strong impact on the quality of government that remains stable even after controlling for differences in institutions and economic development. This effect remains significant when the continents are considered separately, with the exception of Asia. The results reveal the importance of cultu…
Une estimation des coûts d'efficience des tarifs actuels des services publics de l'eau en France
Un résultat communément accepté dans la littérature sur la régulation des services publics (Coase [1946]) est que l’efficience du marché exige un recours à des tarifs binômes avec, d’une part, un prix marginal égal au coût marginal et, d’autre part, un prix fixe correspondant à la part de coûts fixes prise en charge par chaque abonné. En France, les usagers des services d’eau payent un prix marginal qui est en moyenne 8 % plus élevé que le coût m…
The welfare costs of non-marginal water pricing
The evaluation of the economic efficiency of regulatory schemes is essential for regulators and utilities. In this study it is analysed for the first time the welfare costs of non-marginal cost pricing in the water supply in England and Wales, by computing the deadweight loss of the water only companies (WoCs) that existed over the period of 1993–2009. The results indicate that the current price schemes can have substantial efficiency costs. Our …
