Fiscal Sisterhood
The allocation of financial resources through a budgeting system can produce various outcomes based on what it prioritizes and who is involved in the process. Hence, many studies have examined diverse impacts of different budgeting systems and approaches. Yet our understanding is still limited regarding how involving or increasing the representation of underserved populations in the budget process contributes to better outcomes for those individu…
Equity How and Equity for Whom? Incorporating Equity Into Local Government Budgeting Processes
Social equity is politically polarized, with advocates contending that it is a governance mandate and opponents claiming that it promotes reverse discrimination and inefficiencies. When implementing policies and programs, local bureaucrats must maneuver within this legal, ethical, normative, and political battlefield. This polarization can also be seen in budgeting processes when municipalities decide what to prioritize within their budgets. Whil…
Expanding the Boundaries of Representative Bureaucracy
Representative bureaucracy scholarship has operated in an academic silo, largely separate from the policy subfields where it is applied, specifically when testing passive and active representation.

The social movements of the last few years have highlighted the continued institutional inequities that exist in the United States.

As public adm…

The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requires banks to grant low-income communities access to credit. Federal agencies monitor CRA activity and rate banks on compliance. As an economic development tool, the CRA supports private investment of public outcomes. This paper uses qualitative content analysis to examine bank and nonprofit comments regarding proposed CRA rule changes and bank shareholder reports through the lens of the realized publicnes…
Trends and Gaps
The representative bureaucracy theoretical framework explores the link between bureaucrats’ social and demographic characteristics and their likelihood to take actions that benefit citizens with whom they share identities. This meta-review analyzes 96 peer-reviewed representative bureaucracy journal articles to explore how the theoretical framework is described and applied and to track the contextual development of representative bureaucracy over…
Feminism, Masculinity, and Active Representation
Representative bureaucracy examines how identity impacts bureaucratic decision-making. Under certain circumstances, identity congruence between government officials and citizens will result in positive outcomes. This article explores how representative bureaucracy literature studies the effects of gender identity and matching. Although studies demonstrate that context and organizational environment impact identity, scholars don’t systematically a…
