Towards a comprehensive framework for the evaluation of small and medium enterprise policy
This research demonstrates the relevance of the evaluative cycle and its diverse methodological designs in small and medium enterprise (SME) policy. We structure our arguments based on the most common phases of the cycle, namely policy justification, needs, policy theory, implementation, impact and efficiency assessments. We use an in-depth case study of public assistance to an SME to illustrate how findings from these phases go beyond the result…
A Latino Scorecard for Higher Education
A Latino scorecard is presented for higher education institutions using an index of eight measures for resources, effectiveness, diversity, equity, affordability, and access. It is applied to public 4-year institutions in Texas and shows that institutions located in South Texas and those with higher resources do better relative to Latino students. The scorecard can inform Latino parents on how institutions perform relative to Latinos and provide …

Having undergone the internship program, students are more likely to consider the federal government as a future employer than they were pr…

Principal-Agent Theories of Party Leadership Under Preference Heterogeneity
Many contemporary theories of party leadership derive their concepts from organization theory and economic theories of rational choice. They stress the institutional contexts that shape leadership possibilities and the relationship between members (principals) and leaders (agents) in shaping leadership decisions. Both the macro (institutional context) and micro (principal-agent) theories assume that the main role of party leaders is to marshal ma…
The Effects of Gender on Congressional Behavior and the Substantive Representation of Women
This paper examines how gender affects legislative behavior and what significance these effects have for the substantive representation of women. Having examined voting behavior from 1981 to 1992, we confirm that female legislators have voting patterns that are more liberal, yet not significantly different, from those of their male counterparts. When regression is applied, gender remains insignificant in explaining voting behavior until 1991 and …
