Does the Student Human Rights Ordinance Make a Difference for Schools and Students? Evidence from South Korea
The Student Human Rights Ordinance (SHRO) constitutes a major normative reform in South Korean education, aiming to institutionalize students’ dignity and autonomy, yet its practical effects remain contested. Exploiting staggered adoption across six metropolitan and provincial jurisdictions, this study estimates the causal impact of the SHRO using a difference-in-differences design that accounts for treatment heterogeneity. Analyzing administrati…

The findings reveal that individualism has a positive an…
Effects of National Voting Experience During High School on Political Participation
Objectives This study investigates whether voting during high school influences adolescents' long‐term political engagement. Methods South Korea's 2020 electoral reform created a natural experiment by granting voting eligibility to only some high school seniors based solely on birthdate. Exploiting this exogenous division within a single cohort, we estimate the causal effects of adolescent voting using an Instrumental Variable (IV) approach. Resu…

Institutional Trust, Individualism, and Redistributive Attitudes in Asian Countries
As income inequality increases worldwide and the role of governments in redistribution becomes increasingly important, governments are seeking to understand citizens' redistribution attitudes. With this in mind, this study analyzes the relationship between citizens' redistribution attitudes and trust in government using data from the fourth (2014–2016) and fifth (2018–2021) waves of the Asian Barometer Survey (15 countries and 37,305 samples). Ad…
Does National Voting Experience During High School Form a Voting Habit? Evidence from a Natural Experiment in South Korea
This study examines whether high school seniors develop voting habits after their initial experience with national voting by leveraging a natural experimental situation, focusing on the reform that allowed Korean high school seniors to participate in national elections starting in 2020. Employing a regression discontinuity design, which utilizes the eligibility criteria determined by birth date, we find no clear evidence that students who voted d…
Transboundary Air Pollution and Public Opinions on Neighbouring Countries
Air pollution is a transnational phenomenon with the potential to influence public perceptions and international attitudes. This study examines whether fine dust originating from China − particularly in the form of yellow dust − affects South Koreans’ attitudes toward Chinese people. Using an instrumental variable approach to address endogeneity, the analysis finds little evidence of a significant relationship between objective pollution levels a…
Open for integrity? Ministry-level evidence on the impact of open recruitment on government integrity in South Korea
Social media use and polarized redistributive attitudes
As social media has become a means of information sharing, knowledge dissemination, and social interactions, it follows that its use significantly influences the formation of attitudes and social norms. Existing literature has raised significant concerns about social media causing political polarization. This study examines whether the use of social media causes polarized attitudes on redistribution by applying the instrumental variable (IV) esti…
Relocation of public institutions and local public finance
An extensive, large-scale relocation of public institutions occurred in South Korea in the 2010s. The local policy governing this relocation was implemented to mitigate metropolitan concentration and advance equitable regional development. The policy's ultimate goal was to bolster the fiscal foundations of local governments to facilitate regional economic self-sufficiency. This study employs a synthetic differences-in-differences methodology to a…

Bureaucrats and Budgets in South Korea
This article presents evidence that high-ranking public officials in the Ministry of Strategy and Finance in South Korea affect local budget allocation. Applying a regression model on a uniquely constructed panel dataset, I found that the growth rate of the per-capita National Subsidy, which is a subcomponent of the national budget susceptible to discretionary behaviors, increases approximately 7 percent in the hometowns of high-ranking bureaucra…

Municipal mergers under local autonomy
Municipal mergers have a significant influence on political outcomes. In this study, we present empirical evidence on how city-county consolidation amid the fully fledged introduction of local autonomy affects electoral consequences in South Korea. The results first show that the voter turnout rate among rural residents in the consolidated district decreases and the effects are greater when merger shock is more pronounced in the election. This co…
Effects of electoral margins on party loyalty in the roll call votes
In modern democratic politics, members of parliament (MPs) engage in legislative activities influenced by political parties and voters. This article examines how electoral margins within constituencies affect MPs’ party loyalty in roll call votes. We analyzed all bills of the 20th Korean National Assembly (2016–2020), providing evidence for the marginal hypothesis from the perspective of an emerging democratic country. We found MPs were more like…
Female leaders and gendered laws
Leaders do matter in formulating legal foundations that affect society’s path of development. If these laws are gender discriminatory, they hinder the development of groups adversely affected by the system. This study empirically examines the relationship between female leaders and gendered laws in 190 countries between 1970 and 2020. We find that female leaders have been positively associated with enhancing gender equality in the legal system ov…
Impact of regulatory focus on security technostress and organizational outcomes
Purpose Organizations invest in information security (IS) technology to be more competitive; however, implementing IS measures creates environmental conditions, such as overload uncertainty, and complexity, which can cause employees technostress, eventually resulting in poor security performance. This study seeks to contribute to the intersection of research on regulatory focus (promotion and prevention) as a type of individual personality traits…
Anti-authoritarian attitudes after democratic movements
A momentous democratic protest against an authoritarian regime can affect individuals’ social attitudes. This study empirically examined the impact of democratic movements on anti-authoritarian attitudes by focusing on the June Struggle of 1987 in South Korea, which was one of the most successful democratic uprisings in Korean history. Using representative survey data, we compared cohorts who started college before and after the year of the June …
Influence of politicians’ ideology on their legislative activities
The legislative bill is a critical factor in assessing whether a representative democracy is functioning well, and the politicians' ideologies have a significant impact on legislative activities. By investigating complete legislative bills in Korea's parliament from 2004 to 2016, classified using machine-learning techniques, and politicians' ideology, measured by the W-NOMINATE method, this study systematically examines the relationship between l…
Foreign residents and local public expenditure
With rapid globalization and the growth of immigration, countries worldwide have become multicultural societies and are experiencing social changes. Several studies have focused on the impact of foreign residents on society, particularly from a public finance perspective. The current study examines how foreign residents affect local budget expenditure in South Korea, which is currently facing a historically low fertility rate and the aging phenom…
A different choice, a different outcome
In Korean society, regionalism has deep historical roots and has had a great influence on elections. A historic event occurred in 2014 when a conservative party candidate, Lee Jung-hyun, was elected as a member of the National Assembly in Suncheon-si, Jeollanam-do, where liberal parties have been in the midst of powerful political influence. This was possible because voters responded to the candidate's appeal to vote based on benefits to the loca…

The Effect of Mayoral Gender on Gendered Budget
Politicians’ individual traits can influence policy outcomes. A local mayor has authority over the budget process and can affect the municipal budget allocation. This study empirically examined whether the mayor’s gender affected the gendered budget in Korean cities between 2016 and 2020. Across various econometric designs, our results revealed little evidence that mayoral gender (women, in this case) affects the formulation and execution of the …
I am a Real Korean
For many governments, forming a shared national identity and uniting the public are among the major tasks for building a resilient nation. The population of multicultural children is increasing in South Korea due to globalisation. In the face of such social change, the Korean government has implemented policies and programmes to support these children. The purpose of these policies and programmes is to help multicultural children develop a nation…

Examining Politicians’ Wealth Accumulation in South Korea
One of the public’s popular beliefs about politics is that politicians engage in rent-seeking behaviors, such as accumulating property, using their political power. By applying a regression discontinuity design, this study examines whether members of the National Assembly of South Korea gained assets during three elective terms (2004–2008, 2008–2012, and 2012–2016). The results contradict the public’s claim. In general, there is minimal evidence …

Fiscal Rules and Income Inequality
Fiscal rules act as binding institutions for fiscal policies worldwide. While previous studies have focused on the budgetary and financial effects of fiscal rules, their effects on social problems remain largely unexplored. This study examines how fiscal rules affected income inequality in OECD countries between 1990 and 2015. The results show that fiscal rules adversely affect income inequality, and a battery of robustness tests support these re…
The Supplementary Budget in South Korea
The government s supplementary budget, unlike the main budget, represents funding granted for emergency circumstances throughout the year. This study uses a rich dataset from South Korea to examine the characteristics of the supplementary budget compared to the main budget with regard to its formulation and execution. The analysis indicates that, first, projects that change during parliamentary deliberation on the main budget from the previous ye…
