Turning Rights into Ballots
After a more than seven-decade battle, American women secured the right to vote in August 1920. The struggle for women to have a voice in elections was not over, however. The Nineteenth Amendment states that “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.” The amendment gives Congress the power to enforce the law by appropriate legislation. It does not, ho…
How do social security expenditures vary by state? The surprising impact of unemployment
We examine state-level variation in the flow of benefits under the largest Social Security programme – the Old-Age (OA) programme. OA pensions remain a robust and growing component of the American social safety net. Although OA pensions are entirely administered by the federal government, state-level demographic features can imply different aggregate levels of programme expenditures across states. We describe high levels of variation in the resou…
The Federal Reserve System and the Credit Crisis
The Federal Reserve System struggled to maintain order in U.S. credit markets as rapid declines in home prices led to huge write‐downs in the value of mortgage‐backed securities held by financial institutions. The Fed could have taken a number of steps—in the mortgage market or through broader regulatory actions—to either preempt or mitigate the impact of this market disruption. Broader regulatory actions—in the mortgage market, of risk taking by…
Explaining Bureaucratic Optimism
We offer a theory of intertemporal bureaucratic decision making which proposes that an agency's forecast optimism is related to the extent to which it discounts future reputation costs associated with bureaucratic incompetence. Agency forecasts of the distant future are more likely to be optimistic than short-term forecasts. We claim that unstable organizations will discount reputation costs at a steeper rate than stable organizations, and theref…
Political Context and the Turnout of New Women Voters after Suffrage
Many observers expected new women voters to respond to their political context in distinctive ways. Some scholars anticipated that newly-enfranchised women—lacking political interest and experience—would be volatile and highly responsive to context. Others expected political isolation and norms proscribing political activity would insulate women from political stimuli. We test these competing predictions with a Bayesian approach to ecological inf…
Managing Uncertainty
Several federal agencies generate forecasts of future economic performance. How accurate are these projections? The article compares actual and projected outcomes for four macroeconomic indicators across three federal agencies. The bias and efficiency of the forecasts are estimated using tests drawn from the macroeconomic literature on private forecast performance, and some alternative explanations for observed bias are considered. The tests indi…
Privatizing Federal Credit Programs
The federal government subsidizes lending to a number of borrowers—notably students, farmers, and homeowners. Government‐sponsored enterprises issue the securities that channel capital to many of these privileged borrowers. One of the largest of these enterprises, the Student Loan Marketing Association (Sallie Mae), is scheduled to be wholly privatized by September 30, 2008. What explains the privatization of this enterprise? To identify distinct…
Are Federal Programs Immortal
Two perspectives on program longevity informwork on the life cycle and political control of federal programs. One set ofwork represents programs as immortal and implies that elected officials face severe problems controlling programs. Asecond set ofwork claims that programs face pressures that lead to termination. A single empirical feature—the hazard of program termination over time—distinguishes these mutually exclusive perspectives. A survival…
Big Government and Affirmative Action
Acquiring New Technology
Increasing competition for scarce resources and new demands for accountability create information management challenges for human service agencies. A survey of managers of human service agencies is used to identify obstacles to acquisition of new information technology in both public and nonprofit agencies. Agencies with donors committed to new technology, managers with discretion to choose among technology alternatives, and a workforce with few …
The Politics of Federal Credit Subsidy
Policy outcomes contain important information about how public sector managers respond to economic innovation and balance electoral and policy goals of elected officials. This article examines the quarterly distribution of Small Business Administration (SBA) credit subsidies across 14 industries to test the link between loan guarantee activity and economic and political variables. Changes in the level of SBA guarantees are dependent on aggregate …
