Ozone production characteristics during the Korea-United States Air Quality campaign over the Seoul Metropolitan Area deciphered by observationally constrained hydroxyl radical reactivity
Despite notable reductions in precursor emissions, ambient ozone levels continue to increase in many urban areas, including Seoul, South Korea. This study examines the photochemical ozone production process in the Seoul Metropolitan Area using observational data from the Korea-United States Air Quality (KORUS-AQ) airborne campaign. By analyzing hydroxyl radical reactivity linked to nitrogen oxides (NOX) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) (RNOx…
Do Parties Make a Difference? A Reappraisal
Hypothesis: Government spending tends to increase more under governments of the left than under governments of the right. Method: Pooled data analysis of changes in central government domestic spending in 18 countries, between 1962 and 1991. Results: The original finding, that the partisan composition of governments makes a difference, though a small one, is confirmed. The new results do not, however, replicate the previous finding that parties m…
Are Leftist Governments More Generous Toward Public Sector Employees? Evidence From Canada, 1967–1984
This article tests the hypothesis that leftist governments concede higher wage increases to their public sector employees than right‐wing governments. Leftist governments are expected to be more generous toward public sector employees because of their commitment to public sector intervention, and because of the heavy representation of the public sector among leftist party elite and clientele. The study examines all major wage settlements signed b…

Do Parties Make a Difference? Parties and the Size of Government in Liberal Democracies
The paper attempts to determine whether parties of the left, when in government, spend more than parties of the right. It first reviews the theoretical literature and concludes that parties are likely to make a difference, but only a modest one. It then reviews previous empirical studies, which come out with conflicting results. It finally proposes a study that covers 15 liberal democracies over a period of 28 years, from 1960 to 1987, and combin…
