▼ In this dissertation, I contribute to the growing body of evidence on the behavior and impacts of direct government intervention in finance through government ownership of banks. Chapter 1 uses data from Brazil to analyze the lending by government and private banks at the national and local-level and then assesses whether this lending translated into the real economy (e.g. to employment and output). I find that government banks did, indeed, provide counter-cyclical lending at both the national and the local level, and this lending translated into locations with an above median share of bank branches that are government-owned experiencing a roughly 2% relative increase in output and 1.5% in employment. Chapter 2 develops a theoretical model of lending by government and private banks. Then, informed by the political science literature, I create a proxy for political-connectedness of borrowers and test the model using the World Bank Enterprise Surveys with firms and banks around the world. This chapter expands the literature on the lending behavior of government banks by providing a cross-country analysis. The cited studies either have loan-level data within a single country or have loan volume data across many countries. While I interpret my result as consistent with the previous literature, I am able to connect firms to banks from a large cross-section of countries through the World Bank Enterprise Surveys. Chapter 3 calculates spillover effects of government transfers using data on Brazil's (government-bank facilitated) Bolsa Familia conditional-cash transfer program. This chapter uses household surveys and data on Brazil's Bolsa Familia program to assess labor market spillovers, but it has broad implications. Understanding the general equilibrium effects of government transfer programs, whether they are conditional-cash transfer programs in developing countries or welfare payments in the United States, is vital to understanding both the decisions that people make and the expected policy implications. This chapter attempts to understand the effects of a government transfer program in a locality to both the recipients and the non-recipients.

▼ The struggle for economic resources and political power has played a key role in human history. Political institutions and the distribution of economic resources define the distribution of political power and the rules of the political game. Countries with weak institutions allow politicians to make decisions regarding the allocation of government expenditure without significant control, which may pose a threat to the development of some regions within the country. The ambition to achieve power leads politicians to make promises about redistribution and to allocate resources to regions that are of strategic importance in elections instead of to those in need. My dissertation examines the tactical redistribution of public resources by an incumbent seeking re-election. I constructed a unique data set on promises the president of Colombia made directly to different regions he visited. The data allow for a distinction between promises of cash transfers and public goods to the regions. The model and the empirical results show evidence that public goods are used to reward supporters, while cash transfers are used to persuade voters. The details of the data allow me to infer the incumbent's preferences when paramilitary groups are able to influence elections in some regions. In this case the incumbent seems to target the illegal group, rather than citizens, when reallocating money in paramilitary- controlled areas. Another problem of weak institutions is the violence that the struggle for economic resources could generate. Several authors explain how the abundance of natural resources can become a "curse" when there are poor institutions, since the groups in the opposition will use violence to capture rents of the resources. I addressed these questions using data about Colombia that allow me to study the effects of the gold rush at the local level differentiating between legal and illegal extraction of gold. We show that only illegal gold extraction threatens the population's security in some regions. My results show that the most affected areas, in terms of violence rates associated with illegal extraction, are areas where vulnerable communities are located, as national parks and indigenous reserves.

▼ This dissertation studies three topics in the political economy literature: corruption, property rights and collective action.In Chapter 1, I examine the role that individuals' past experience with and attitudes towards corruption play on their behavior in a bribery laboratory experiment. I find that (i) corrupt subjects – classified based on past involvement in bribery and accepting attitudes towards corruption – are more prone to make choices conducive to bribery; and (ii) individuals' corruption background can influence the outcomes of anti-corruption measures. These findings underscore the importance of individuals'characteristics in understanding the determinants of corrupt behavior and impact of anti-corruption policies, and provide support for the validity of corruption experiments.In Chapter 2, we investigate the provision of a public good – security of property – using laboratory experiments under various institutional arrangements and different subjectpools (Austria, South Korea, Mexico, Mongolia and the U.S.). Without communication or enforceable rules, we observe inefficient amounts of voluntary abstinence from stealing. Addition of a voluntary collective protection technology improves outcomes modestly. Most subjects vote to fund collective protection with a mandatory tax when offered the opportunity. A treatment permitting pre-play communication leads to endogenous emergence of non-theft agreements that most subjects honor, thereby surpassing substantially the efficiency of formal arrangements and illustrating the role of norms. Behaviors across subject pools are qualitatively similar, but interesting differences are correlated with indicators of institutional quality, trust, and actualincidence of theft in those countries.In Chapter 3, I challenge the so-called "group size paradox," which argues that larger interest groups, as measured by the number of individuals whose preferences align with the causes groups uphold, will provide less of a collective good in the form of lobbying. I document theoretically and empirically (employing a novel data set containing estimates of the size of groups in the U.S.) a hump-shaped relationship between the size of groups and their ability to provide the public good. My results suggest that the largest provision of lobbying activity would be observed among groups counting on the potentialsupport of 70-100 million people.

▼ What differentiates economically successful urban areas from those that fall into decline? This dissertation attempts to improve upon existing answers to this question by examining the relationship between metropolitan political institutions and local economic performance. The impetus for this focus is the significant role that political institutions have come to play in explaining the structure and long-term performance of national economies. To apply this line of reasoning to the urban level, I examine three metropolitan institutions with plausible links to the local economy's structure and performance. Rather than focusing on variation in local decision-making rules (the most common approach to studying political institutions), I focus on variation in the organizational avenues available for achieving policy outcomes. The three institutional avenues I analyze are: 1) the degree of territorial–or Tiebout–competition (representing the ability to obtain policy outcomes by leveraging intergovernmental competition); 2) the revenue capacity of the primary city government (representing the ability to obtain policy outcomes by lobbying a large-scale government); and 3) the prevalence of special district governments (representing the ability to obtain policy outcomes by creating independent, specialized governments). To examine the economic effects of these institutions, I consider their characteristics in light of a three-stage theory of urban economic development. Using this framework, I derive hypotheses linking the prevalence of each institution to the structure and performance of the metropolitan economy in each stage. Testing these hypotheses via panel regression analysis, I find that both a higher capacity primary city government and an increased prevalence of special districts consistently boost metropolitan economic performance across the stages (as measured by the metropolitan income level). In contrast, a higher degree of territorial competition has a more limited impact, improving a metropolitan area's international competitiveness (but not its income level) and doing so only during the second stage of development. I finish the dissertation by applying these insights to the decline of metropolitan Detroit, demonstrating how they improve a prominent explanation found in neoclassical urban economics.

▼ All observed government policies must pass through a political process. In many macroeconomic settings, the implemented policies affect the economy not only during the current period, but also the future path of the economy. In this dissertation, I investigate policies pertaining to immigration, redistribution, and poverty reduction. In the first chapter, I study how politics jointly determine the economy's redistribution and immigration policies. I develop a dynamic political economy model featuring three groups of voters: skilled workers, unskilled workers, and retirees. The model also features both inter- and intra-generational redistribution, resembling a welfare state. To analyze multi-group political economy equilibria, I extend the class of dynamic political games featuring Subgame-perfect Markov as its equilibrium concept. The analysis allows for strategic voting behavior, where voters may vote for a candidate not directly representing their group. Because the policy preference of the unskilled workers is the most intermediate, other groups may choose to side with this policy choice in order to avoid their least preferred candidate. For the unskilled workers, inequality plays a key role in determining the degree of redistribution. Therefore, immigration ultimately affects the generosity of the welfare state by altering the level of inequality in the economy. The objectives of the second chapter are twofold. First, the chapter tries to understand the relationship between immigration and asset prices. The analysis reveals that the asset price responds positively to immigration. The immigration's influence goes through four channels: increasing saving, increasing marginal product of capital, decreasing marginal cost of investment, and raising population growth rate. After the preceding analysis, I study how different cohorts will harness these benefits through political interactions. This exercise reveals that the young cohort may have a strategic motive to influence the identity of the decisive voter in the next period to ensure the highest return on their savings in retirement. In addition, the model also predicts that the uncertainty in the population growth rate of the immigrants will lower these immigration quotas. The last chapter moves away from international policy arena and focuses domestically on escaping a poverty trap. Prior studies conclude that redistribution is a futile policy against this vicious cycle of poverty. I revisit this line of literature and show contrary to this conclusion that redistribution can help the economy escape the poverty trap. I characterize a necessary sequence of lump-sum taxes and transfers and show that this scheme will move the economy out of the poverty trap in finite time regardless of the economy's initial distribution of wealth. Unfortunately, I also show that neither basic democracy nor dictatorship can take the economy there with this policy scheme. The rationale for this is the following. The proposed escape route from poverty requires an economic input from the…

▼ What are the political conditions conducive to growth-oriented policies in poor democracies? An extensive literature on redistribution suggests that poor democracies are unlikely to focus on growth-oriented policies. Yet, as a largely poor and highly-competitive democracy that has witnessed a notable growth transformation, India challenges this hypothesis. To address the broader question of political conditions conducive to growth-oriented policies in poor democracies, my dissertation focuses on a specific empirical puzzle - subnational policy variation in the competition for private investment in India, which ensued after the adoption of extensive market reforms in 1991. Despite being bound by similar institutional conditions and being subject to a common shock, some subnational governments have been far more proactive and business-friendly in the competition for investment than their counterparts; both speed and scope of policies has varied. I examine this variation and ask why some subnational governments have been more proactive and investor-friendly than others. My dissertation makes two main claims. First, I focus on the social base of voters backing governments, which I refer to as electoral coalitions, and argue that certain configurations of electoral coalitions with a confined class basis are more favorable to growth-oriented policies than others. Specifically, narrow-right coalitions, characterized by the joint presence of core groups with similar economically-advanced profiles and substantial representation of business interests, are most conductive to growth-oriented issues. How do such narrow class coalitions emerge in the midst of a poor electorate? The second claim of my dissertation is that narrow growth-oriented coalitions can arise in poor democracies when the primary logic of electoral politics is non-economic and rests instead on symbolic concerns such as identity, ethnicity or nationalism. In such cases, both party strategies of mobilization and voter attachments are driven by social factors rather than economic interests. Where social attachments cut across economic interests, class-based electoral collaboration is impeded and narrow coalitions can emerge, even in the midst of poor electorates. In the Indian case, I focus on the influence of identity politics, specifically on caste politics, on both party strategies and voter motivations. The primacy of identity politics has meant that underlying social cleavage patterns critically affect party strategies of coalition construction. The association between social cleavage patterns and party strategies is complemented from below by the effect of identity on voter attachments. Both these factors allow for the emergence of narrow, growth-friendly coalitions in a poor electorate. I use a nested research design, which combines both qualitative and quantitative analysis. Specifically, four in-depth case studies are combined with a time-series cross-section analysis of 14 states between 1992 and 2010. Advisors/Committee Members: Kohli, Atul (advisor).

▼ Why do individuals engage in political economy egocentrically at some times and sociotropically at others? I claim that human beings will be more likely to demonstrate attitudes and behaviors that are in their own self-interest when in private, and those that are in the interests of others when in public. A survey of the research in mass political economy shows a major divide over whether individuals are selfish actors or hold strong motivations to benefit the collective. While there is merit to both of these approaches, neither is a panacea. Furthermore, I demonstrate that conflicting findings in existing research need not be concerning. These broad divisions in this literature mirror those within our brains. Natural selection has endowed our minds with strong capacities to behave both egocentrically and sociotropically. The real challenge becomes explaining what causes each of these parts of us to become active. This project is about how observability changes political behavior in predictable ways. Using data from multiple surveys across 23 countries, I am able to demonstrate the importance of social context across a diverse set of outcomes in political economy. First, while retrospective assessments of national economic conditions exert a strong and significant effect on candidate selection in public, they largely fail to do so in private. In the absence of others, individuals are more likely to reward and punish candidates based on their personal financial situation. Second, while individuals egocentrically update their attitudes of welfare policies when in private, they largely fail to do so in the added presence of an interviewer. Finally, in a unique online experiment of political donating behavior, I show that publishing respondent decisions in newspapers and on social media increases the propensity for individuals to benefit the country at costs to themselves. These findings hold major implications for how we participate in politics and the broader democratic process.

▼ Corruption is a global bad that comes in many forms. It is pervasive in developing countries, and persists in developed countries, where wide-ranging corruption scandals regularly shake public opinion. This study looks at these wide-ranging scandals. It explains why we sometimes see small-scale, petty corruption, and sometimes wide-ranging scandals of grand corruption. Because grand corruption is often a collective enterprise involving large, sophisticated conspiracies, it resists our traditional tools of analysis and policy-making: methodological individualism and institutional rules. Grand corruption resists these tools because the vast conspiracies that support it manage to subvert these very institutions and avert law-enforcement, even in countries where strong institutions impose swift and harsh punishment on corrupt acts. This work examines corruption from the perspective of organizations. Its departure point is that corruption is ``organized crime within an organization.'' It proposes and tests a theory of how corruption is organized; that is, why we observe petty or grand corruption, and how this depends on the structure of the organization where corruption occurs. This approach provides a simple, easily expandable formal-theoretic framework that unifies, sharpens, and expands upon previous work. I find that corrupt individuals have an incentive to form vast conspiracies when the help provided by additional accomplices offsets their cost in terms of resources. Organizations affect these incentives by embedding corrupt individuals into social networks. Those networks are a double-edged sword: they provide corrupt individuals with opportunities to recruit additional accomplices among close colleagues, but also expose them to the monitoring of those colleagues. Corruption persists in developed countries in the form of grand corruption supported by large conspiracies because stronger institutions make engaging into corruption costlier. Since corruption is costlier, the protection provided by additional accomplices become more desirable. However, compensating these additional accomplices comes with higher costs that can only be borne by more profitable ventures. As such, less profitable, petty corruption disappears, leading to the survival of grand corruption alone. Testing these propositions using cross-country comparisons, a lab-in-the-field experiment conducted in Morocco, and a field study with a large Moroccan company, I find strong support for the theoretical predictions.

▼ Currently because of the age of globalization the world is becoming to be conceived as a village. One of the major projects of globalization is the integration of the political economy of the less developed regions in to the global political economic order. Accordingly, during the past few decades the continent of Africa has been trying to integrate itself in to the international political economy either forcefully or by consent. The driving force of this integration is the ideology of neoliberalism. Under this integration states are recommended or forced to open up their markets to foreign companies competitions, to minimize the role of the government in the economy including minimizing the government expense for social security and social goods, to create fertile grounds for the market to be the only means to distribute the wealth of a nation and the prices of goods and services to be determined based on the principles of demand and supply, etc… The central question of this research is “does neoliberalism work in Africa?” The empirical discussion is made in Ethiopia. It tries to give deep explanations about the theoretical principles of neoliberalism and also this research deals with arguments for and against neoliberalism in to the political economy of Sub-Saharan Africa. Then the research proceed to the debates between the Revolutionary Democrats and Liberal Democrats concerning to the role of ideology of liberalism (neoliberalism) in the political economy of Ethiopia. After analyzing some key issues of the ongoing debate, the research findings conclude that the ideology of neoliberalism doesn‟t work in Africa. It is the conclusion of this research that neoliberalism is an ideology which doesn‟t subscribe to the socio-economic and political realities of the continent of Africa. When we come to the case of Ethiopia, after considering the strong and weak sides of both Revolutionary Democracy and Liberal Democracy, the author argues that we have to search for another political and economic ideology that can subscribe to the realities of the country. Key words:- Neoliberalism, Ideology, Sub-Saharan Africa, Ethiopia, Political-Economy, Theoretical Principles. Advisors/Committee Members: TAREKEGN ADEBO (Dr.) (advisor).

▼ This thesis consists of three chapters. The first chapter investigates how the functional operator used in Kocherlakota (1996) is linked to the game underlying the model. Using the machinery developed by Abreu et al. (1990) (APS) I solve for the set of equilibrium value profiles directly. Consider a function f whose hypograph is self-generating and apply the APS set operator B to the hypograph. The main result states that the functional operator used in Kocherlakota (1996) maps the function f to the upper boundary of the resulting set. The second chapter tackles various issues in the empirical literature investigating the claim that economic development leads to political development, i.e., higher income causes democracy. All democracy data are ordinal, i.e., ordered and discrete. In contrast to Barro (1999) and Acemoglu et al. (2008), who treat the democracy data as continuous, I develop and estimate a dynamic model where the ordinal democracy variable has the Markov property. As pointed out by Robinson (2006), most work in the literature fails to take into account that democracy might have an effect on income. Consequently, I test whether income has an effect on democracy and whether democracy has an effect on income. The effects between income and democracy are dynamic as they unfold over time. This leads me to employ the standard econometric causality concept in time series analysis, Granger causality. Mosconi et al. (2006) have extended the concept of Granger causality to binary processes. Using a similar Markov approach allows me to apply their definition of Granger causality in my econometric model. I also show that GDP per capita is a unit root process for almost all countries and that failing to take this into account leads to model misspecification and misleading results. My empirical analysis suggests the following. First, higher income Granger causes democracy for full democracies, which means that a high income helps to stabilize democracies. Second, higher income Granger causes democracy for medium democracies implying that income can have a positive effect on regime type where there is already a somewhat favorable environment. Third, I find that Granger causality runs from democracy to income meaning that income and democracy form a bidirectional feedback system. The third chapter investigates empirically the effect of extending the franchise to women. The underlying question is why women had to fight for their right to vote. The hypothesis is that richer and more educated women had a higher turnout at the polls than poorer and less educated women. Using data on demographic composition, election results and voter registration for Pittsburgh I estimate female voter turnout and female voter participation across different social groups and the effect of women suffrage on election results. I find that female voter turnout and female voter participation was higher in the richer and more educated parts of town. However, I cannot find an effect of the enactment women suffrage on the election results.

Cette thèse transdisciplinaire en économie et science politique étudie les divers aspects de la doctrine de la gouvernance dans les agendas des institutions et organisations internationales (OIs) en adoptant les outils de l’Economie Politique Internationale. La première partie mobilise deux chapitres pour analyser la doctrine de la gouvernance dans sa genèse, conceptualisation, diffusion et appropriation dans la communauté du développement international. Le chapitre 1 montre que les approches contemporaines de la gouvernance rompent avec les approches traditionnelles sur la légitimité politique et l’efficience économique en prenant en compte l’hybridité, l’hétérogénéité et la multiplicité des acteurs et des centres de décisions. Le chapitre 2 apporte sa contribution au débat sur la diffusion des idées et normes dans la sphère des politiques de développement en prenant l’exemple de la Banque Mondiale à travers son agenda sur les normes de gouvernance. Ce chapitre montre que la Banque Mondiale a eu différents comportements vis-À-Vis de la doctrine de la gouvernance, en évoluant d’une approche économique vers une approche sociopolitique dans une optique néolibérale.Ce chapitre montre que la combinaison du pouvoir d’influence et d’injonction de la Banque Mondiale lui a permis d’utiliser ses indicateurs de gouvernance comme un moyen d’influence de sa politique d ’aide au développement de même que celles des autres principaux donneurs. A travers deux chapitres, la seconde partie effectue une investigation dans les dimensions sociales et environnementales de la gouvernance dans une perspective de développement durable dans les pays en développement. Ainsi, le chapitre 3 examine les politiques de gouvernance sociale des OIs et vise à saisir les effets de l’aide multilatérale sur les inégalités de revenu et la protection sociale dans les pays en développement. Il montre que cette aide a des effets bénéfiques uniquement dans les pays ayant une bonne qualité institutionnelle. Enfin le chapitre 4 propose un modèle de principal-Agent illustrant des interactions d’économie politique entre l’offre et la demande de bonne gouvernance dans le cas du civisme environnemental, de la corruption et de la déforestation dans les pays en développement. Il trouve que l’aide multilatérale destinée au secteur forestier est plus efficace dans la réduction de la déforestation dans les pays ayant à la fois un meilleur civisme environnemental et un état de droit.

This interdisciplinary thesis in economics and political science analyzes the multidimensional aspects of the governance doctrine in the agendas of multilateral and International Organizations (IOs) by adopting the framework of International Political Economy (IPE). The first part uses two chapters to analyze the doctrine of governance in its genesis, conceptualization, diffusion and appropriation in the international development community. Chapter 1 found that current approaches of governance break with traditional approaches of political legitimacy and economic efficiency by taking…

▼ This thesis explores the causal effects of specific types of social and political institutions on economic outcomes. The first chapter presents a field experiment that investigates the role of social institutions in shaping individuals' beliefs, aspirations and eventual economic outcomes. Utilizing a priming methodology from social psychology, exogenous variation in the salience of one's social identity was introduced in treatment groups, and the long and short-run aspirations of subjects were recorded. Girls exhibit lower aspirations and beliefs when gender is primed, while high caste subjects have higher aspirations and beliefs when caste is primed. This is the first study in the literature to experimentally identify the effects of priming identity on outcomes with real stakes, and in a dynamic setting. The next two chapters investigate the role of political institutions on economic policy in the context of Indonesia. The first of these two chapters studies policy choices under two selection methods for public officials: appointments and elections. I use a novel dataset and a natural experiment, wherein districts switched from appointments to direct elections (for district mayors) in a way that can be argued to be unrelated to district characteristics. Elected mayors are significantly more likely to engage in redistributive policies than their appointed counterparts: they hire and promote a significantly greater number of civil servants, and are more likely to redistribute publicly provided goods and services to households that will be more responsive to these transfers. The last chapter goes back farther in Indonesia's political history, to Soeharto's final years in office. A large theoretical literature argues that the legacies of non-democratic regimes affect the quality of governance in new democracies, but the empirical evidence is scarce. This chapter exploits a natural experiment from the Indonesian democratic transition that generated exogenous variation on how long agents of the old regime remained in office and, hence, on the degree of control that they exerted during the transition. The results show that when old-regime mayors hold office for longer, districts exhibit worse governance outcomes. These effects persist several years after the old-regime mayors are no longer in office. Advisors/Committee Members: Berry,James Wesley (committeeMember), Lim,Seon Hye (committeeMember).

▼ This study examined the relationship between CARICOM governments and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The study focused on three research questions: (1) What do the CARICOM leadership and other stakeholders believe are the major reasons why they continue to rely on the financial assistance and intervention of the IMF? (2) Under which paradigm of development do these leaders and stake holders perceive their relationships with the IMF? (3) How do younger and older CARICOM citizens perceive the future growth of their countries, under the leadership of the IMF? Both quantitative and qualitative methods were used in this study to analyze the research questions; therefore, this study used a mixed-methods design. Research question one was analyzed using a qualitative design, while the second and third research questions used a quantitative analysis in the form of descriptive statistics. The analysis, which was limited to six interviews, contained 13 questions. Thematic analysis explored themes such as unique crafting of policies to meet challenges; rationale to undergo IMF programs; ability to meet domestic and international payment obligations; and most applicable economic paradigm to CARICOM. This study also examined the economic paradigms undergirding CARICOM leaders’ decision to use the International Monetary Fund in addressing the socioeconomic and political development issue of the region. The sample consisted of 49 participants. The study concluded that the IMF policies are uniquely crafted to suit the specific CARICOM countries’ needs. These countries tend to invite the IMF interventions out of a sheer necessity and often are reluctant to do so. Yet, doing so provides access to additional funding and other resources that would likely have been otherwise unavailable. While the intent of the IMF programs is to eliminate the inefficient use of resources in these states, sometimes government spending can be impacted by its political nature and yield unintended consequences.

▼ This dissertation consists of two chapters on topics in political economy. In the first chapter, using hand-collected data from collective bargaining agreements for state-level public sector unions, I develop and calibrate a stochastic bargaining model as in Merlo and Wilson (1995) and investigate the effects of political and economic variables on wages, pensions, and delay in reaching agreement. In the model, a governor and a union bargain over a wage and pension outcome. The economic state, as measured by the unemployment rate, evolves stochastically and affects the propensity of the governor and union to reach agreement in any given period. Furthermore, political variables, including party of the governor, partisanship of the district, and incumbency, affect the relative payoffs and therefore the wage, pension, and time to agreement. I find that negotiated wage and pension growth is higher under Democratic governors, while increases in the unemployment rate at the beginning of bargaining have a negative impact on compensation levels, the magnitude of which varies by party and time before the next election. In the second chapter, which is co-authored with Ekim Cem Muyan, I develop a model of campaign strategies, namely the choice to campaign negatively or positively. In particular, I construct a model of political campaigns, based off of Skaperdas and Grofman (1995), in which candidates allocate their budget between positive and negative campaigning. Elections vary according to politician- and district-specific characteristics, as well as the unobservable (to the econometrician) measure of voter types. I calibrate the model to match stylized facts on campaign tone that we document using a wide array of sources, including data on advertising tone from Wisconsin Advertising Project, campaign contributions from the Database on Ideology, Money in Politics, and Elections, and election results. The calibrated model implies that, overall, campaign spending is not particularly effective at increasing votes – a 10% increase in the average candidate's budget, corresponding to about $240,000, raises his or her expected vote share by about 0.4 percentage points. The model also implies that negativity is marginally more useful for candidates who are trailing than those leading, though not by a wide margin.
