A meta‐analysis of the state and local government borrowing costs
State and local governments seek to save money through fiscal efficiency. One such mechanism widely studied in the literature is through the choice for financial underwriting of debt. The extant literature generally suggests that state and local governments can lower borrowing costs through a competitive method of sale. In a meta‐analysis of 418 effects from 97 studies, we find that competitive sales do enjoy a statistically significant reduction…
If Someone Else Pays for Overhead, Do Donors Still Care
To better evaluate the effectiveness of overhead-free donations on giving behavior, we seek to further investigate the robustness of the findings from Gneezy et al. using a nonstudent population. In an online experiment, we test whether (a) the level of overhead costs affects giving decisions and whether (b) overhead aversion disappears once donors are informed that an anonymous donor has already covered all overhead costs. Results show that dona…
The impact of public debt on state borrowing cost in the US bond market before the great recession
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to use data on municipal bond sales in the US primary market for the period 1984–2007 to explore the effect of debt levels on the cost of borrowing for state governments. Design/methodology/approach This paper employs OLS and two-stage least squares regression model using instrumental variables. Findings The empirical analysis finds that despite the steady increase of state debt in recent years, there is no ev…
Nonprofit Arts Organizations
Due to increased competition for scarce resources, scholars and practitioners have been devoting more attention to identifying the factors that drive private contributions to nonprofit organizations in recent years. This study aims to investigate whether capital structure decisions made by nonprofit managers have an impact on future contributions from individual donors. More specifically, it asks whether debt is associated with a reduction in fut…
Assessing the strength and weakness of the dataarts cultural data profile in comparison with the nccs 990 data
The DataArts dataset, although it covers mostly arts organizations, has emerged as an alternative source of data for nonprofit research. Most existing studies use the IRS 990 data, which is considered a reliable source for research. We evaluate the reliability of the DataArts dataset by comparing the consistency of the values reported to the DataArts Cultural Data Profile (CDP) and to the 990 forms. We: 1) examine correlations between the same me…
