Kommunale Daseinsvorsorge
Unter dem Begriff der öffentlichen Daseinsvorsorge wird in Politik, Verwaltung und Wissenschaft üblicherweise verstanden, dass der Staat sicherstellt, dass den Bürgern bestimmte Güter und Dienstleistungen zur Verfügung stehen, die für das menschliche Dasein notwendig sind. Nach einigen begrifflich-konzeptionellen Klärungen wird in diesem Beitrag mit besonderem Fokus auf die kommunale Daseinsvorsorge gezeigt, dass im politischen, öffentlichen und …

The Limits of Electoral Control
In modern democracies, politicians' accountability is often linked to the disciplining mechanism of electoral control. For politicians in their final term, this mechanism is impaired. Using a novel data set covering 910 members of the UK House of Commons active within the period 1997–2010, we investigate how reduced electoral control affects last‐term MPs' trade‐off between work effort inside parliament, leisure, and outside interests. Our main c…

Are Female Legislators Different? Exploring Sex Differences in German MPs' Outside Interests
This article examines whether sex matters with respect to a type of legislator behaviour that has thus far been neglected in the literature analysing the distinctive nature of female and male legislators: parliamentarians' outside interests. Using data for 614 German Members of Parliament (MPs), our analysis confirms that female MPs on average hold fewer outside jobs than men—especially in private-sector functions. We also find that individual ch…

New constitutional “debt brakes” for Euroland? A question of institutional complementarity
Delegation, Accountability and Legislator Moonlighting
Members of parliament in many countries are legally permitted to execute (un)paid jobs in addition to their political mandate. It is often argued that such 'moonlighting' activities are unproblematic for the chain of democratic delegation and accountability as long as outside interests/earnings are disclosed to citizen-principals; the latter may then sanction (perceived) misconduct through the ballot box. Using principal–agent theory as an analyt…
Public–Private Partnershipping as a Tool of Government
Despite considerable public and scholarly interest in public–private partnerships (PPPs) as a tool of government in Germany, there is no quantitative empirical study exploring the motivations behind policymakers' decisions to (not) use this type of privatisation policy. This article contributes to filling this gap by investigating the extent and determinants of the PPP activities of the 16 German states' governments over the period 2002–09. For t…
Der Rückzug des Staates aus unternehmerischen Tätigkeiten. Eine Zwischenbilanz
Dieser Aufsatz zieht eine Zwischenbilanz des Rückzugs des Staates aus unternehmerischen Tätigkeiten in der OECD Welt seit 1980. Wir präsentieren einen kritischen Überblick über empirische Studien zu den Bestimmungsfaktoren der nationalen Unterschiede in den Bereichen Privatisierung, Subventionszahlungen und Regulierung. Wir zeigen, dass erhebliche Forschungslücken bestehen und skizzieren abschließend Wege für die künftige Forschung, um zu einem u…
Too Much Competition in Higher Education? Some Conceptual Remarks on the Excessive-Signaling Hypothesis
Within the economics of higher education, there is a small but influential literature that describes and analyzes the outcomes of competitive processes on markets for higher educational services. Colleges and universities in the United States currently invest a vast amount of resources in order to attract well-qualified students. Costly activities like advertising, infrastructure investments, the recruitment of academic stars, or the granting of …
