Ph.D. University of Hawaii at Manoa 2011.

This dissertation is comprised of three studies on the economics of managing public goods under uncertainty. The first study uses a general public goods framework motivated by recent climate change mitigation efforts. It uses an experimental methodology to better understand the strategic component of voluntary public goods provision. The study compares a treatment in which subjects write down their strategies but keep them private to a treatment in which they make these strategies public. This study not only improves our understanding of subjects' strategies regarding public goods and how those evolve, but also provides a mechanism that may sustain higher efficiency levels over time. The second study in this dissertation presents a model of technological innovation for a good that can yield significant social benefits. It uses a theoretical framework to model the interactions between a firm with a research project and a government grant agency. In this case the government does not know the exact probability that the project can yield a successful innovation. The grant agency sets funding rates in attempt to encourage the firm to truthfully reveal this information. This project combines two strands of literature, one in which entrepreneurs contract with investors to fund their own private research projects and one in which government agencies elicit contracts from private individuals to achieve social goals. The third study in this dissertation characterizes the problem of managing an invasive species that causes ecological and economic damage to its environment. It uses both a theoretical framework and the specific example of brown tree snakes on Saipan to look at optimal management when the invasive species population is unknown. In this study the uncertainty remains throughout the entire management period and dynamically evolves over time. This dynamic uncertainty is a sharp break from previous literature on species management that typically either assumes known population levels or makes assumptions that reduces the problem to one with certainty.

▼ This dissertation examines why some local governments deliver social services more broadly to citizens than others under democratic decentralization, arguing that the divergent politics of local service delivery are explained by variation in pre-colonial statehood. Specifically, differences in pre-colonial political geography left distinct socio-political legacies in the network relations of local elites: local elites are tied together through mutually-reinforcing claims to authority in areas that were home to pre-colonial states, but they are fragmented and contentious in areas that were acephalous. Following widespread decentralization reforms, it is the relative congruence of newly created local government boundaries with local elite networks that drives distributional politics. Greater overlap between these formal and informal institutions widens the webs of obligations that local elites have to citizens in areas of high network congruence while its absence facilitates the emergence of exclusive identities and incentivizes narrow targeting in the rest of the country. This study demonstrates that distinct distributional patterns are emerging by looking at two locally delivered public goods, primary schools and basic health facilities, in Senegal, a West African nation that was home to a dynamic pre-colonial state system. The project blends quantitative and qualitative data collected during a year of fieldwork to illustrate the link between pre-colonial geography and different forms of local distributional politics. These differences, which only emerged following the 1996 decentralization reforms, were a critical juncture for local elites, who gained control over substantial patronage to redistribute locally. The project therefore contributes to the recent 'historical renaissance' among students of political economy of development by making an important distinction between historical antecedents that are path dependent but not persistent when we 'decompress' history. It further contributes to the literature by emphasizing the social incentives facing local elites over the narrow materialist goals often ascribed to them in the clientelism literature and, finally, it calls attention to the vivid political debates that take place within rural communities, posing a series of implicit questions for the current agendas of decentralized governance and bottom-up development.

▼ This research examines how the act of administrating altruistic punishment is impacted by group identity and variability in contributions to a public good settings. The decision to punish low contributors involves a cost to the punisher and carries no individual benefit for the action; as such it is an altruistic act. Altruistic punishment is unique because there is not materialistic, rational reasons to employ it, yet we know it is used. Consequently, such punishment is used to uphold norms of exacting revenge. I proposed a six condition experimental study in which I manipulated three factors of group identity (in-group, out-group, and no group identity) and two types of variability in contributions (high and low). I posited that there would be differences in the frequency in decisions to administer altruistic punishment to a non-contributor depending on the combinations of group identity and variance in contributions. Results indicated that these factors were not significant in determining the frequency of utilizing altruistic punishment. The administration of altruistic punishment was significantly related to the level of contribution to the public good. Individuals who contributed more to the public good also administered more altruistic punishment. Sex and variability in contribution were both found to be significant in influencing contributions. Men contributed more and participants in the low variability condition contributed more respectfully. The relationship between sex and altruistic punishment is completely mediated by amount of contributions. While there is a clear and significant relationship between contribution variance and contributions, as well as between contributions and punishment, contributions do not mediate the relationship between contribution variance and punishment because the relationship between contribution and punishment is not significant.

▼ This dissertation consists of three chapters with a central theme on Hispanic inflows and public goods provision. The first paper investigates how Hispanic immigrant inflows affect K-12 public education finance in the US. I first document the long-run trend of mean household income and average number of children per household for Hispanic immigrant households relative to native households. An accounting calculation suggests that the tax price of per-pupil spending increases by 7% from 1970 to 2010 due to Hispanic immigrant inflows. Using the historical pattern of immigrant settlements as a source of exogenous variation, I quantify the causal impact of immigrant inflows on public education spending. I find that an increase of ten percentage points in the share of Hispanic immigrant children in the child population decreases per-pupil current spending by 13%, equivalent to about $1,300 per student when evaluated at the 2010 mean spending level. In addition, I find that Hispanic immigrant inflows largely reduce the demand for redistribution on education spending from the state government. A ten-percentage point increase in a state's population of Hispanic immigrant children causes per-pupil state spending to decrease by 30%. The second chapter investigates how the adoption of the Systematic Alien Verification of Entitlement (SAVE) program affects Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participation by immigrant adults and US-born children in immigrant-headed households. Comparing SNAP participation before and after the adoption of the SAVE program, I do not find a statistically significant decrease in the SNAP participation among non-citizen adults following the adoption of the SAVE program. In contrast, the SAVE adoption has a sizable negative impact on the SNAP participation by US-born children in immigrant households, both for the participation rate (a 14% decrease) and the total number of participants (an 8% decrease) in a household. The results suggest that SAVE not only is ineffective in deterring unqualified immigrant applicants but also reduces take-up among qualified US-born children. The last chapter studies the driving forces of state anti-illegal immigration legislation passed since 2005, focusing on a district's demographic structure. To accomplish this, I compile a novel dataset of legislative-district-level characteristics and match these data to votes on individual bills from each state's house of representatives and senate. I show that districts with a more established immigrant population and a higher fraction of African Americans tend to vote against anti-illegal immigration legislation. In contrast to the previous findings, however, districts with a large fraction of Hispanic population tend to vote for anti-illegal immigration legislation.

▼ With vast databases at their disposal, private tech companies can compete with public statistical agencies to provide population statistics. However, private companies face different incentives to provide high-quality statistics and to protect the privacy of the people whose data are used. When both privacy protection and statistical accuracy are public goods, private providers tend to produce at least one suboptimally, but it is not clear which. In the first paper, we model a firm that publishes statistics under a guarantee of differential privacy. We prove that provision by the private firm results in inefficiently low data quality in this framework. When Google or the U.S. Census Bureau publish detailed statistics on browsing habits or neighborhood characteristics, some privacy is lost for everybody while supplying public information. In the second paper, we assert that to date, economists have not focused on the privacy loss inherent in data publication. In their stead, these issues have been advanced almost exclusively by computer scientists who are primarily interested in technical problems associated with protecting privacy. Economists should join the discussion, first, to determine where to balance privacy protection against data quality; a social choice problem. Furthermore, economists must ensure new privacy models preserve the validity of public data for economic research. Differential privacy is a mathematical tool for protecting the confidentiality of records belonging to individuals. One of the key premises of differential privacy is that any measurement based on the confidential data must be altered with carefully chosen random noise before publication. In the third paper, we consider a scenario where the deployment of differentially private disclosure limitation technologies by official statistical agencies may not always occur under ideal conditions. For instance, internal decisions or external requirements (e.g., legal or contractual obligations) may stipulate that certain statistics must be published exactly. Additionally, overlapping datasets may have already been published. In this paper, we explain (1) the semantics of algorithms that satisfy differential privacy, (2) how the semantics are affected by release of exact statistics (computed directly from the confidential data), (3) how to attribute responsibility for any resulting information leakage, (4) how to provide privacy semantics for the combined information leakage.

▼ This dissertation includes three chapters that utilize experimental methods to answer questions relating to social choices. Social choice is a broad category that can incorporate an individual’s choices when it comes to charitable giving, providing a public good or creating externalities through one’s choices. In the first chapter “To Be or Not To Be Corrupt: An Experimental Study on Bribery” I designed a modified version of the bribery game used in Abbink et al. (2002) to study whether information on the prevalence of bribery activity within the experimental environment has an effect on behavior. In addition it also tests whether this prevalence effect can be reduced by implementing a strict punishment. In the second chapter “Can Cooperative Behavior Improve Efficiency in Public Good Provision?” laboratory experiments are used to test whether information about the cooperative behavior of the group members in a trust game affects contribution to a public good game. The first part of the design utilizes a trust game to measure the cooperative behavior of the subjects. This information is provided in the public goods game to see if there is an effect on contributions. The essay also looks at if there is an effect on contribution, and if that effect lasts over time or it merges towards a selfish-man equilibrium of no contribution. The third chapter “Means and Ends in Charitable Giving for Environmental Protection: A Discussion” conducts a discussion on the charitable giving literature related to environmental charities and builds a simple model of warm glow to show that the attributes of an environmental charity may affect giving. The model can also be used to consider attributes on how the money is used. For example, whether there is a difference when a market-based mechanism like Payment for Environmental Services (PES) is used versus more traditional mechanism like education on alternative livelihood. It then proposes a possible design for a field experiment to test the hypotheses. Advisors/Committee Members: James C. Cox, Vjollca Sadiraj, Michael K. Price, Dennis R. Young.

▼ This thesis consists of three papers. The first paper is about voluntary provision of public goods, and the second paper studies elections when candidates are asymmetric and voting is costly. Finally, I discusses the equivalence between quasi-perfect equilibrium and sequential equilibria in the last paper.Chapter 1 considers the problem of collective actions. In an environment of voluntarily provision of public goods, we show that if the players are grouped according to their contributions and if their abilities to contribute are different, then there exist two positive contribution equilibria: one is fully efficient in the sense that all individuals contribute fully, and the other is near fully efficient in the sense that almost all individuals contribute fully. We consider the election problem in Chapter 2. Consider the following environment: An advantaged candidate and a disadvantaged candidate compete in a large election. Candidates exert effort to improve their valences, and voters cast their votes costly. This paper characterizes the pure strategy equilibria in this kind of election games, and gives sufficient conditions for the existence of pure strategy equilibria. We show that for most instances, there exists at least one and at most two pure strategy equilibria. On average a low voting cost causes high campaign efforts, but there also exists an interval of voting costs such that candidates' campaign efforts are strictly increasing on this interval. Moreover, when candidates become similar in terms of their productivity, their equilibrium valence choices also become similar.In Chapter 3 we prove the generic equivalence between quasi-perfect equilibrium and sequential equilibrium. Combining this result with Blume and Zame (1994) shows that perfect, quasi-perfect and sequential equilibrium coincide in generic games. Roughly speaking, this result tells us that if we pick an extensive-form game randomly, then the perfect, quasi-perfect and sequential equilibrium are equivalent for this game.

▼ The first chapter models the general mechanisms/tradeoffs underpinning the dynamics of collaborative production using a club theoretic framework and drawing on tools from differential game theory. Individuals with preferences that are far from the objective of the club may not immediately split and form a new club. Instead they may take advantage of the increasing returns from club membership and incubate their new club within an existing one. In equilibrium, clubs may not be able to prevent this type of behavior even if it is undesired. Moreover, there are a range of conditions under which clubs may encourage incubation of future competitors to take advantage of increasing returns themselves and build up their own capital base.The second chapter abstracts away from the dynamics and focuses on the static trade-offs. Existing public and club good models assume monotonicity in the utility of both consumption and provision. A wide range of public and club goods violate these assumptions. Accounting for appropriate non-monotonicities dramatically alters the equilibrium structure and welfare. When the utility from consumption is no longer monotonic, increasing the number of contributors mitigates the free-rider problem, rather than exacerbating it. When both the consumption value and provision cost are non-monotonic, increasing the number of contributors not only mitigates the free-rider problem, but leads to an over-provision problem in which both the number of contributors and the intensity of contributions are inefficiently high. When the population is large, every equilibrium yields over-provision. Lastly welfare-maximizing policies involve transferring surpluses from consumers to producers.The third chapter illustrates the competitive aspects of collaborative production in the context of the software industry. I address whether both proprietary and open source software will survive and how producers of proprietary software differentiate themselves from open source competition. I analyze competition between a firm producing proprietary software and a community producing open source software. If the firm faces no competition, then the software caters to less technologically savvy individuals. When facing competition, the open source software caters to the most technologically savvy individuals, leading the firm to target even less savvy individuals than it would when acting as a monopolist.

▼ Humans universally demonstrate intrinsically motivated prosocial behavior towards kin, non-kin ingroup members, and strangers. However, humans struggle to extend the same prosocial behavior to more abstract concepts like future-others and non-human species. The Adaptive Motivation Hypothesis posits that humans evolved intrinsic motivations to act prosocially towards more tangible social partners like those within an individual’s ingroup, but prosocial behavior towards more distant and abstract partners is constrained by ecological certainty. Prosocial behavior towards these more abstract concepts is more variable and more likely motivated by extrinsic reward. This dissertation aims to examine the development of motivations for prosocial behavior towards these more abstract concepts. My studies rely on common goods games as a proxy for examining behavior towards abstract recipients of prosocial behavior. Common goods are any resource like forests or fisheries that are non-excludable to a population, but rivalrous. In-demand common goods require cooperation of humans to ensure sustainable use in order to avoid depletion. Chapter One examined how children in three populations that differed in ecological certainty behaved in a common goods game where they were asked to contribute portions of their personal endowment to the maintenance of a forest. Participants were either provided a high extrinsic motivation, a low extrinsic motivation, or no extrinsic motivation for contributing to the maintenance of the common good. Results show that overall, children of all ages were more motivated to contribute to abstract recipients when extrinsic motivation is high. However, noticeable variation in behavior between populations was driven by ecological and cultural differences. Chapter Two examined whether aggregated extrinsic rewards increased contributions to common goods in a sample of children aged six to fourteen. Results suggest that both information about personal loss and delay in an acquiring resource together dramatically increase children’s contributions to common goods within both experimental and real-world contexts. Chapter Three explores whether making a typically abstract social partner more tangible increases an individual’s prosocial behavior towards said partner. Results for Chapter Three, conducted with a population in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, find that increasingly the tangibility of an abstract population marginally increases prosocial behavior in children but not in adults. Together, the results of these studies have implications improved understanding of the development of prosocial motivations in school age children, as well as applications to understanding motivations for socially conscious behavior in the face of environmental and conservation dilemmas.

▼ In 2008, the United States federal government passed the Higher Education Opportunity Act. This bill included provisions long championed by media companies requiring higher education institutions to implement technical deterrents to combat the unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material by users of their computer networks. Many at the highest levels of academia were concerned that these provisions would also affect academic freedom by restricting the free flow of information and knowledge. Some also viewed it as an unnecessary and costly intrusion into the affairs of higher education by the federal government and media conglomerates. The researcher's main hypothesis was that the controversy arose because there is natural tension between academic institutions, which mostly produce public goods (non-rivalrous, non-excludable goods), and commercial authors and media conglomerates, which produce club goods (non-rivalrous, excludable goods). Public goods, such as knowledge, do not become less valuable with unfettered distribution, while club goods, such as music, movies, and books may become less valuable. The researcher reviewed hundreds of documents, emails, letters, and transcripts of hearings and conducted multiple interviews. The findings suggest that a lack of knowledge concerning the form of the copyright-protection provisions fueled initial concerns that the provisions would be burdensome and overly intrusive. While the researcher found clear examples of fears by top academics that expressed the tension between public goods and protection of club goods, the predicted problems failed to materialize and did not appear to influence the final language of the law or code of federal regulations. IT and security staff, especially, seemed to accept that the free flow of information and the protection of copyrighted works were not incompatible. At the grass roots level, the debate was rarely framed in an oppositional manner. In fact, many of the subjects expressed the opposite view: technical deterrents to copyright infringement and other controls on academic networks, rather than impeding the dissemination of ideas, created "space" on the networks for the dissemination of ideas, and for scholarship and research to flourish.

Cette thèse se propose de repenser la protection de l'arbre afin de permettre la réalisation des objectifs de lutte contre le changement climatique inscrits dans divers codes. L'arbre apparaît comme un outil incontournable dans leur concrétisation, pourtant, la seule protection de sa fonction économique ne permet pas de s'engager dans cette voie. Il nous paraît alors essentiel de repenser la protection existante pour, d'une part, la recentrer sur les fonctions écologique et sociale de l'arbre, et d'autre part, unifier le régime de protection attaché à chacune de ces fonctions. Cela passe par la définition de l'arbre et de la forêt, la redéfinition de la propriété héritée de la Révolution française, et la requalification de l'arbre. Aussi, l’absoluité du droit de propriété doit être limitée par la réalisation de la destination de l'arbre bien nature (fonction écologique) ou bien culturel (fonction sociale). Ce travail sur la protection des fonctions écologique et sociale de l'arbre nous engage également à envisager l'hypothèse de sa personnification, hypothèse que nous écartons à l'issue de son étude.

This thesis proposes to rethink the legal protection of trees in order to achieve the climate change objectives enshrined in various codes. Trees appear to be an essential tool in their realisation, yet the mere protection of their economic function does not make it possible to embark on this path. We therefore believe it is essential to rethink existing protection in order, on the one hand, to refocus it on the tree's ecological and social functions and, on the other hand, to unify the protection regime attached to each of these functions. This involves defining the tree and the forest, redefining property as inherited from the French Revolution, and the requalification of the tree. Also, the absolute nature of the right of ownership must be limited by the realisation of the tree's purpose as a natural good (ecological function) or a cultural good (social function). This work on the protection of the tree's ecological and social functions also leads us to consider the hypothesis of its personification, a hypothesis which we discard at the end of this study.

▼ The aim of the research undertaken here was to devise a new form of democratic government that, according to theoretical criteria, is likely to perform better than existing and currently proposed types of liberal democratic government. The task is commenced by inspecting structural elements common to these governments for liability to cause defective performance. A ‘forward mapping’ of causal chains was made from these elements and this indicated three types of behaviour will be produced that would cause some neglect of public goods. These behaviours are: confusion about who directs the development of public policy; excessive competition between political representatives; and excessive compromising of the political influence of informed public opinion by uninformed public opinion. This ‘triple dysfunction’ hypothesis is tested with two ‘backward mapping’ exercises that start from cases of under-provision of public goods to look for causal factors in government behaviours or structures. These cases largely concern the management of natural resources and as those tests give some support for the hypothesis, more tests are carried out by inspecting whether it appears to explain democratic failure in another four issues that affect the use of natural resources: population size, global warming, unemployment and growth of wants for scarce natural capital. The hypothesis is also supported by these tests and in the case of growth of wants this support is given by a fairly detailed analysis of how the growth is driven by the irresponsibility predicted by triple dysfunction. As this hypothesis shows some reliability it is then used to design an institution for improving democratic government. This is the ‘People’s Forum’. It is intended to counter triple dysfunction by assisting citizens to develop strategic public policy and to pressure politicians to enact this. The Forum is compared with three other proposals for reforming democratic government that have been put forward in the literature. This comparison employs an analytical framework devised for the purpose and it indicates that in practice, the Forum is likely to outperform these other designs. That conclusion may be systematically questioned by using the framework: by entering into it, revised ratings of the various capabilities of each design; by revising the framework itself; or by or by doing both together. Performance indicators are suggested for monitoring the progress of any trials that are made of the Forum. An argument is made as to why any trial of the Forum needs to be carried out over a whole polity and not as small scale experiments. It is suggested that some democratic innovations of narrow focus could assist the Forum while it also assists them. This study offers four contributions to political science: a hypothesis of failure by liberal democratic government; an institution to correct this failure; a framework for comparing such reforms; and a method for designing institutional innovations. The study also contributes to ecological economics by…

▼ This dissertation contributes to the knowledge on the emergence of political institutions related to checks and balances as well as their effects on economic outcomes. The first two chapters analyze the determinants of constitutional limits on executive authority and the implication of these limits for policy-making. The third chapter studies the process by which institutional reforms are enacted. While the past century witnessed a gradual adoption of limits on executive power, countries that oscillate between periods of strong and weak executive constraint-regimes still exist. The literature explains the emergence of strong political institutions that effectively curb the power of the executive with competitive electoral races. However, empirical evidence indicates that governments facing similar electoral pressures have made widely ranging institutional decisions on this issue. This observation suggests that factors besides a country's degree of electoral competitiveness must be influencing the extent of its reforms. To shed light on this discrepancy between the theoretical literature and the data, the first chapter of this dissertation constructs a dynamic model of political competition in which limits on executive decision-making that will constrain the future government are chosen by the current party in power. The basic results affirm an incumbent's main trade-off identified in the literature: While loose executive constraints permit an incumbent to enact his desired policies in case of re-election, the same would apply to his opponent under the opposite scenario. This chapter's contribution is to show that this trade-off is not constant. Specifically, the incentives that shape an incumbent's institutional decision evolve with his country's level of public sector development. The analysis suggests that this evolution is due to governments being more inclined to make common cause with their opponents when there exist mutually beneficial gains to be realized from public sector investments such as infrastructure spending. In these circumstances, the common cause motivation dominates the inherent conflict between parties over unproductive political spending. Consequently, executive constraints would initially be kept looser in order to enable such investments. The main results corroborate the empirical evidence by showing that higher levels of public sector development in a country will be associated with tighter constraints on the executive branch. Moreover, these tighter constraints will be less sensitive to swings in political power. While these results confirm the importance of the degree of electoral competitiveness in determining institutional outcomes, they offer an important qualification: The role played by elections depends on the country's public sector development. In addition, this chapter finds that public goods will be under-provided, even when political parties share the same preferences over it, due to the ever-present motive to restrict an opponent's political spending through institutional… Advisors/Committee Members: Deudney, Daniel (advisor).

Cette étude examine si les sites historiques pourraient être considérés comme des biens publics ou non. Il étudie aussi les caractéristiques d'un site d’être considéré comme un bien public mondial. Considérant les sites historiques comme biens publics exige différent type de planification et gestion car ces sites sont généralement gérés par les gouvernements et les gouvernements engagent des coûts élevés pour leur restauration et leur entretien. Par conséquent, il serait important d'évaluer la valeur des différents sites de prioriser la restauration de ces sites. Donc, dans cette recherche différents types de valeurs générées par des sites historiques a été étudié et la méthode la plus appropriée pour évaluer la valeur totale des sites a été proposé. Ensuite, une étude empirique a été réalisée en constituant des données originales pour l'évaluation de la valeur du site du mausolée de Ferdowsi en Iran et la valeur totale du site ainsi que ses sous valeurs a été évaluée.

This study considers whether historic sites could be considered as public goods or not. It also studies the characteristics of a site to be considered as a global public good. Considering historic sites as public goods demands different kind of planning and management as these sites are usually are managed by Governments and Governments incur high cost for their restoration and maintenance. Therefore, it would be important to assess the value of the different sites to prioritize restoration of these sites. To this mean, in this research different kind of values generated from historic sites has been considered and the most proper method in order to assess the total value of the sites has been proposed. Then an empirical study has been carried out by constituting original data for the value assessment of the Ferdowsi mausoleum site in Iran and the total value of the siteas well as its sub values has been assessed.

▼ This dissertation investigates how to motivate contributions to public information goods, characterized by non-rivalry by nature and non-excludability by choice. With the running example of Wikipedia - the online encyclopedia that grants free access to everyone and relies entirely on the inputs from volunteers, I present three designed-based empirical studies that explore how individual contributions are affected by 1) reduction in the number of collaborators, 2) private benefit, number of readers, and 3) group membership. Chapter II studies how the reduction in group size affects the collaborative behavior in contributing to Wikipedia articles. Exploiting a natural experiment at the Chinese Wikipedia, we find that the level of contribution and conflict within the group drop on articles that face a shock, whereas centralization increases. Interestingly, the impact of a shock on activity increases with shock level, whereas the impact on centralization and conflict is higher for moderate shock levels than for very small or very high shock levels. Chapter III examines how the private benefit of citation and acknowledgement and the social impact from the public goods can motivate contributions from domain experts. Using a randomized field experiment, we invite 3,974 academic economists to contribute to Wikipedia articles relevant to their researches. The results show that experts are significantly more interested in contributing when citation benefit is mentioned. Furthermore, cosine similarity between a Wikipedia article and the expert's paper abstract is the most significant factor leading to more and higher-quality contributions, indicating that better matching is a crucial factor in motivating contributions to public information goods. Chapter IV examines the potential of team-based approach on motivating individual contributions to Wikipedia. Employing a panel data set across over 9,000 Wikipedia editors and exploiting the variations in the exposure to WikiProject due to quasi-randomness in the association of Wikipedia articles to WikiProject, we find that joining a WikiProject has a sizable impact on the level of contribution, measured by both the number and size of revisions. Further analysis on the patterns in the behavior of WikiProject members indicates that the recommendation of articles can be the factor driving the impact of WikiProject.

This dissertation examines how economic segregation shapes the provision of local public goods. Past research finds that economic segregation affects political attitudes and participation. However, few studies examine how economic segregation shapes local policy outcomes, particularly outcomes concerning local public goods. Using data on local government spending, data on ballot measures on local taxes, and data on the geographic location of affordable housing units, I find that economic segregation shapes local public goods provision in important ways. The first chapter, "Income Segregation and the Provision of Local Public Goods," shows that economic segregation correlates with an increase in city-level spending on certain policy areas usually preferred by middle- and upper-class residents. The second chapter, "Economic Segregation and Support for Local Taxes: Evidence from Municipal Ballot Measures in California," finds that economic segregation relates to increased support for tax increases dedicated to specific goods and services voted on by residents. I argue that, in economically segregated cities, this increased support comes from residents' decreased trust in local government, particularly in how local governments spend money. Finally, the third chapter, "Partisanship and Affordable Housing: How Democrats and Republicans Geographically Distribute the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program," asks whether partisanship structures the distribution of low-income housing units to economically segregated neighborhoods using administrative data from the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit Program. I find little evidence to support partisan differences in the distribution of low-income housing units to low-poverty or to high-poverty neighborhoods. However, I do find that Republican administrations allocate significantly fewer low-income housing units to a neighborhood as its poverty rate increases. This suggests that partisanship may not necessarily shape the provision and distribution of new housing development for lower-income residents. Together, these findings show that economic segregation has a nuanced but significant relationship with the provision of local public goods.

In Sweden, there are both public roads and civic roads. The civic roads are managed by the people who utilize them. These roads go most through forests and farmlands but also in urban detached areas and are supposed to have a lower cost than with governmental management. Previous regulation has put out the reinvestment in the civic roads in urban areas and left them in a bad shape. I have studied an attempt to reinstall the civic road management system for such urban areas in Leksand. Based on the theory of public goods and common pool resources, I have made a Regulatory Impact Assessment (RIA) to see if the civic road management system will be effective in the long run compared to municipality management. I found that if it works, the civic road management system is the most effective due to the marginal excess tax burden that harms the municipality management. However, the civic road management system gives great responsibility and administration to a few people and might not work well in the long run. Instead I suggest a user-fee financing of the municipality management which is not affected by the marginal excess tax burden.

I många svenska kommuner har kvalitén på de enskilda vägarna i tätorter försämrats på grund av otydliga ansvarsförhållanden. Jag har studerat ett pågående projekt i Leksand som håller på att bilda samfällighetsföreningar som skall ansvara för de enskilda vägarna i tätort. För att bedöma om samfälld förvaltning är effektivt över tid har jag gjort en samhällsekonomisk konsekvensanalys baserad på teorin om kollektiva nyttigheter och förvaltning av gemensamma resurser. Det visade sig att samfälld förvaltning var effektivast jämfört med kommunal förvaltning, mycket beroende på marginalkostnaden för skatter överskottsbörda. Samfälld förvaltning innebär dock stort ansvar och omfattande administrativa uppgifter för ett fåtal och det är osäkert hur väl det fungerar på lång sikt. Som ett alternativ föreslår jag att finansiering med användaravgifter möjliggörs för kommunal förvaltning av enskilda vägar vilket inte påverkas av marginell överskottsbörda.
