  • Impact of a Woman Mayor on Women's Local Political Participation. Does Partisanship Matter

    Open AccessJoanna Siwińska-Gorzelak, Grażyna BukowskaARTICLEUrban Affairs Review2025References: 39

    Although women's presence in politics has grown, they remain underrepresented. This study analyses how exposure to successful women politicians influences the future representation of women candidates in local politics. It also explores whether these effects vary according to candidates’ affiliation, distinguishing between those running as members of political parties and those running independently. Using a quasi-experimental design and data fro…

  • Intragovernmental Grant Distribution and Party Alignment Bias under Democratic and Authoritarian Governments: The Case of Poland

    Open AccessJoanna Siwińska-Gorzelak, Grażyna BukowskaARTICLEEast European Politics and…2022Cited by: 3

    This article studies the party alignment bias in Poland. Relying on quasi-experimental regression discontinuity design and 2006–2019 data for over 2,400 municipalities, we aim to establish whether the impact of political alignment on the distribution of grants from the central to the local governments has increased under the rules of populist, authoritarian government. We report robust evidence that provides an affirmative answer to this question

  • The impact of revenue autonomy on the composition of local public spending: Evidence from Poland

    Joanna Siwińska-Gorzelak, Grażyna Bukowska et al.ARTICLELocal Government Studies2020References: 57

    This paper studies the relationship between tax autonomy and the structure of local public expenditures. We rely on panel data from Poland for more than 2400 municipalities over the years 2002–2014. We use a measure of tax autonomy, based on ‘potential’ own revenues, defined as revenues that the authorities are entitled to collect, before local tax policies have been implemented. This measure alleviates to some extent the endogeneity of indicator…

  • Can Higher Tax Autonomy Enhance Local Fiscal Discipline? Evidence from Tax Decentralization in Poland

    Open AccessGrażyna Bukowska, Joanna Siwińska-GorzelakARTICLEPublius The Journal of Federalism2019Cited by: 2References: 58

    This article explores the impact of local tax autonomy on local fiscal discipline with data for more than 2, 400 Polish municipalities, over the period 2002–2014. The novelty of this study is that we rely on a measure of “de jure” fiscal decentralization, given by the share of own taxes that the local authorities are entitled to collect, before any local tax policies have been implemented. This allows us to verify the systemic impact of local tax…

  • The Political Power of Large-Scale Farmers and Land Inequality: Some Evidence from Poland

    Open AccessJan Fałkowski, Grażyna Bukowska et al.ARTICLESociologia Ruralis2019References: 39

    Given current political concerns with inequality and the sustainable management of natural resources, the issue of the distribution of productive assets in rural areas has become an increasingly important focus of research. Referring to both ample historical evidence and qualitative research, rural sociologists have long postulated that the distribution of economic resources is strongly influenced by the distribution of political power. In this a…
