The crisis of electoral democracy
This article delves into the 2024 protests in Bangladesh, which were triggered by allegations of electoral fraud, systemic corruption, and democratic decline. It examines how electoral crises can mobilize politically aware yet previously inactive citizens, providing insight into public perceptions of the protests. By focusing on individuals’ views on the protests and demonstrators, the study sheds light on broader societal attitudes toward politi…
Does political corruption reduce pro‐social behavior by bureaucrats? Lab experimental evidence from Bangladesh
Numerous studies assess how politicians control and shape bureaucracy. Yet, how politicians' behavior affects the norms and behaviors of bureaucrats through role modeling has not been studied. This is a curious omission, in light of evidence that social norms shape bureaucratic behavior. Through a lab experiment with over 900 bureaucrats in Bangladesh, we explore whether political corruption affects bureaucrats' pro‐social behavior and whether th…
Does citizen participation make public servants more satisfied with their jobs? It depends on whether they are Spectators or Participants
Is citizen participation in policymaking and implementation desirable? Numerous studies have explored its effects on policy outcomes and citizen attitudes. We, instead, examine its effects on public servants. Citizen participation changes public sector job characteristics and thus potentially job attitudes. Looking at job satisfaction, we argue that citizen participation negatively affects public servants who observe, but do not participate in ci…
Does Regulation Matter? Assessing the Long-run Impact of Regulation on the Cost Efficiency of the Microfinance Institutions in Bangladesh
Bangladesh started regulating microfinance in 2006 by establishing the Microcredit Regulatory Authority, which granted licenses to 746 microfinance institutions (MFIs) and supervised them through prudential and non-prudential regulations. Economic regulation is relatively inexpensive. It affects performance which is mostly reflected in the costs and revenues of the MFIs. This paper investigates the relationship between cost efficiency and regulat…
Agro-information Service and Information-seeking Behaviour of Small-scale Farmers in Rural Bangladesh
Agriculture is the mainstay of Bangladesh’s economy, accounting for 15.89% of its GDP and 45.1% of its labour employment. Efficiency of economic activities in agriculture crucially depends on the flow of information relating to farming decisions, as well as on demand for such information by farmers. This study examines the information needs and information-seeking behaviour of small-scale farmers in rural Bangladesh. Opinions and feedback of farm…
