Invisible and indispensable
Requests for Proposals (RFP) may be the pinnacle of bureaucratic mundanity. Yet, hidden within this apparent monotony are powerful tools to advance public values. Federal, state, and local government grants deploy staggering sums, reaching into the hundreds of billions of dollars annually. With these distributions, the executive branch is often delegated substantial discretion. These are choices of consequence, but little support exists for publi…
Evaluating use of evidence in U.S. state governments
Evidence‐based practice (EBP) has become a global public management movement to improve constituents' lives through government decision making. However, how civil servants' decisions are influenced by scientific evidence remains unanswered. In this study, we answer two related research questions: (1) How do different elements of evidence impact civil servants' program preferences? (2) How does the rating of evidence influence their program prefer…
Evidence‐based practices and US state government civil servants
Leveraging a three‐state survey of 323 civil servants and 36 interviews, representing blue and red states, this university‐government‐nonprofit collaborative research project aims to better understand how civil servants access and use evidence in their decision‐making process. Our findings show that 54% of respondents find evidence‐based practices (EBPs) useful in making budget, policy, and contracting decisions, with 68% of civil servants antici…
The elusive quest for additionality
A big-data analysis of political rhetoric relating the developments of the United States, China, and global powers
Purpose The similarities between the developments of the United States (U.S.) and China into global powers (countries with global economic, military, and political influence) can be analyzed through big data analysis from both countries. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether or not China is on the same path to becoming a world power like what the U.S. did one hundred years ago. Design/methodology/approach The data of this study is drawn…

Dynamic aid allocation
This paper introduces a framework for studying the optimal dynamic allocation of foreign aid among multiple recipients. We pose the problem as one of weighted global welfare maximization. A donor in the North chooses an optimal path for international transfers, anticipating that consumption and investment decisions will be made by optimizing households in the South, and accounting for limits in the extent to which recipients can effectively absor…
Parliament, Convocation and the Granting of Clerical Supply in Early Modern England
Clerical Polemic in Defence of Ministers' Maintenance During the English Reformation
Preaching before parliament in April 1571, the bishop of London, Edwin Sandys, lamented the low popular esteem which clergy enjoyed in the England of his own time, which encouraged the gospel message to be undervalued or ignored. Lay greed impoverished the Church, depriving God's ministers of their lawful maintenance. Little had changed since the break with Rome, when the crown and laymen began to secularise the church's lands and revenues in the…
Mary Tudor, Parliament and the Renunciation of First Fruits, 1555
First fruits levied by the Crown since the Reformation presented serious problems for Mary Tudor and her government. The queen and Cardinal Pole were determined to restore these profits of schism to the church, while parliament and some councillors opposed such a move because of the Crown's fiscal difficulties and the precedent the action might set for a later compulsory resumption of former monastic property now in lay hands. It now appears that…
