Incentive‐Based Compensation in Police Forces
Governments worldwide are increasingly applying management principles to policing, including performance management systems and financial incentives. We study whether eligibility for performance‐based bonuses tied to crime reduction improves police outcomes. Using a quasi‐experimental design and administrative data from Brazil, we evaluate an incentive‐based compensation program that conditioned bonuses on reductions in violent deaths, vehicle ro…
Sucesso em contratos baseados em resultado
Como forma de melhorar a qualidade de provisão de serviços públicos, contratos baseados em resultado vêm sendo invocados, especialmente em colaborações intersetoriais envolvendo atores públicos, privados e organizações sem fins lucrativos. Nesses arranjos, pagamentos são realizados a investidores, financiadores e/ou prestadores de serviços envolvidos caso as métricas de desempenho pactuadas sejam atingidas. Enquanto alguns desses contratos têm su…
Success in outcome-based contracts
Outcome-based contracts have been increasingly invoked to improve the quality of public service provision, especially in cross-sector collaborations involving public, private, and nonprofit actors. These arrangements make payments to investors, funders, and/or service providers if the agreed-upon performance metrics are met. While some of these contracts succeed, others fail to reach the desired outcomes. This study investigates the factors contr…
Preventing disaster-related deaths
This study investigates how socioeconomic factors and state capacities interact to prevent disaster-related deaths in Brazilian municipalities. Although the literature highlights the multi-causal nature of extreme weather events, little is known about how combinations of socioeconomic factors and state capacities can mitigate their adverse effects. Using a sample of municipalities in southeastern Brazil with populations between 100,001 and 500,00…
Evitando óbitos em desastres
Este estudo investiga como fatores socioeconômicos e capacidades estatais podem ser combinados para evitar óbitos decorrentes de desastres em municípios brasileiros. Embora a literatura destaque o caráter multicausal associado à ocorrência de eventos climáticos extremos, pouco se sabe ainda sobre as configurações que podem mitigar os efeitos adversos de desastres. Valendo-se de uma amostra de municípios do Sudeste brasileiro com população entre 1…
Fostering Agility Through Public Procurement Reforms
In an attempt to respond to the public in a more agile way, some governments have implemented procurement reforms. By reducing red tape, policymakers expect to decrease contracting lead-times and improve quality standards in public procurement. Nevertheless, achieving improved performance also depends on the public officers involved in procurement functions. This paper examines a law change designed to improve procurement agility in the Brazilian…
Structural Advocacy Organizations and Intersectional Outcomes
By introducing the concept of “structural advocacy organizations,” this study theorizes and tests the boundary conditions within which organizations designed to protect the rights of disenfranchised groups promote structural changes at the intersection of gender and race. We test these claims on Brazil's “women's police stations,” a type of structural advocacy organization with greater female representation on staff and with specialized procedure…
Why Are Counterfactual Assessment Methods Not Widespread in Outcome-Based Contracts? A Formal Model Approach
Counterfactual assessment techniques involving treated and control groups, such as randomized control trials, might be used in outcome-based contracts to avoid rewarding or sanctioning service providers for social outcomes that they did not cause. However, few outcome-based contracts adopt payment rules based on counterfactual assessment techniques. Potential explanations are that these techniques are complex and involve substantial transaction c…
Pandemias e comunicação
Communication is a key factor in containing a pandemic. Fragmented information may affect people’s perceptions and behaviors, especially in times of governmental miscommunication, potentially jeopardizing efforts aimed at containing the spread of the disease. To test whether and how people have been sensitive to broken information during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, we performed a randomized survey experiment on a sample of 571 respondents. W…

Street-level bureaucrats under Covid-19
The COVID-19 poses unprecedented challenges for Street Level Bureaucrats (SLB). Whereas there are discussions about the pandemic impacts on health care workers, less is known about how it affects police officer’s responses. Drawing upon an inductive qualitative research that follows the ethnographic sensibility inspired approach on a major Brazilian police force, we argue that conflicts concerning political, occupational culture, and material dim…
A grande crise e as crises brasileiras
Identificamos nesse trabalho o papel da Covid-19 na catalisação de crises já existentes no Brasil antes da pandemia: crise econômica crônica, crise econômica aguda, crise de saúde pública e crise de saúde pública. Ao longo do artigo descrevemos como a combinação dessas várias crises conforma a grande crise social e institucional vivenciada pelo país em 2020. Acreditamos que o enfretamento das várias crises se dá pela política e não por sua negaçã…
Produção Científica e Sociedade
A Revista Gestão e Sociedade desde 2017 vem promovendo uma intensa reflexão acerca dos desafios e perspectivas que perpassam a complexa rede que envolve diferentes atores, recursos e instituições ligadas à produção acadêmica, com especial ênfase no campo da Administração. Sempre privilegiando a constituição de mesas e debates com pluralidade de visões, tem sido um espaço altamente qualificado na discussão de temas como fator de impacto e medidas …
Civic festivals and collaborative governance
Civic festivals offer an exceptional laboratory for the study of collaborative governance because these events are ubiquitous and are characterized by public and private partners engaged in joint activity. Using the Carnival festival of Salvador, Brazil, as an example, we analyze the current models of collaborative governance to determine whether they apply to the context of large civic festivals. Drawing primarily on Ansell and Gash’s (2008) mod…
Policy Analysis and Institutional Change in Developing Countries
The “Guarding the Guardians” Problem
Public administration scholars have proposed that efficient monitoring and accountability are key performance elements in public services. We contribute to this debate by focusing on the so-called “guarding the guardians” dilemma: monitoring commissions made up of public officials who may refrain from punishing their peers and turn a blind eye to certain deviations. In the police, this is the case of internal affairs divisions (IADs), which are o…
Sobre a participação privada na gestão e operação de prisões no Brasil
De maneira geral, os atuais debates entre críticos e defensores da participação privada na gestão e operação de estabelecimentos penais têm sido marcados por argumentos que raramente incorporam, de forma cientificamente estruturada, aspectos ligados à eficiência e ao desempenho desta modalidade alternativa de provisão. Assim, como forma de discutir novos instrumentos para formulação de políticas públicas para o setor prisional, o presente trabalh…
Thresholds of Danger
Building on previous research published in this journal (Pollnac et al. 1995), the paper examines individual and cultural factors that influence the thresholds of danger among North Atlantic fishers from New Bedford, Massachusetts. Refined measures of perceptions of the dangers of fishing are developed and examined in terms of their relationship to individual differences such as ethnicity, age, fishing experience, onboard position, type of fishin…
