▼ 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.

This dissertation is composed of three essays in Political Economy. The first essay investigates the role and consequences of political connections in the selection of public sector employees. The second essay examines the determinants of individual attitudes towards gender roles in the labor market. The third essay investigates the relationship between individual perceptions about intergenerational mobility and preferences for redistributions. In the first essay, which is joint work with Emanuele Colonnelli and Mounu Prem, we study patronage in the allocation of public sector jobs in Brazilian local governments. We first document the presence of significant political favoritism in the allocation of jobs throughout the entire Brazilian public sector hierarchy. We then show that patronage is the leading explanation behind this favoritism and that patronage has significant real consequences for the quality of the selected public workers. Finally, we present evidence suggesting that patronage practices are associated with a worse provision of public services. In the second essay, I ask whether demographic shocks can affect the long-run evolution of female labor force participation and gender norms. I trace current variation in women’s participation in the labor force within Sub-Saharan Africa to the emergence of a female- biased sex ratio during the centuries of the transatlantic slave trade: women whose ancestors were more exposed to this historical shock are today more likely to be in the labor force, have lower levels of fertility, and are more likely to participate in household decisions. I provide evidence that the marriage market and the cultural transmission of internal norms across generations represent important mechanisms explaining this long-run persistence. In the third essay, which is joint work with Alberto Alesina and Stefanie Stantcheva, we use new cross-country survey and experimental data, to investigate how beliefs about intergenerational mobility affect preferences for redistribution. We find that Americans are more optimistic than Europeans about social mobility. We show that individuals who have more pessimistic views about mobility are more in support of redistributive policies. However, this effect is present only among left-wing respondents, possibly because right-wing respondents see the government as a “problem" and not as the “solution."

▼ 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.

▼ How do countries' borrowing choices affect their foreign relations? More specifically, can access to new sources of external finance enhance countries' leverage when negotiating with their existing donors? This thesis investigates whether, and how, the greater diversity in African countries' portfolios of external finance in the 21st century has affected their negotiations with traditional donors and lenders. I focus specifically on the effects of Chinese lending and bond market finance, which have become the most important alternative to the development finance provided by traditional donor countries and development banks. I argue that alternative lenders act as an outside option that reduces borrowing governments' dependence on any one source of external finance, which ought to give them greater leverage in negotiations with their traditional donors. In this way, countries' borrowing choices become a basis for shaping their foreign relations, a phenomenon I refer to as the financial statecraft of debtors. However, not all countries are equally effective in translating their access to alternative finance into preferred negotiation outcomes. Both domestic political contestation in the recipient country and the significance of the recipient to donors shape variation in the success of debt-based financial statecraft. I adopt a mixed methods approach to support my argument. I use data on the terms of World Bank and US development finance to show that, across sub-Saharan African governments, access to alternative financing sources is associated with terms on traditional aid that are more aligned with government preferences. Three case studies based on extensive interview evidence – Ethiopia, Kenya, and Ghana – allow me to trace the mechanisms by which alternative finance affects negotiations with traditional donors and provide a comparison that demonstrates the conditioning effects of government and donor constraints. By explaining the potential benefits borrowing governments can derive from their portfolio of external finance, the thesis contributes to a better understanding of the international political economy of financial interdependence.

▼ 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.

▼ 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.

▼ At the time of writing (June 2019), the European Union officially hosts another “sick man”. The European Commission has in fact recently encouraged Italy to reconsider its economic policy in the light of a forecasted unsustainable (according to the European Commission) rise in the country’s budgetary deficit. Italy has so far been relatively used to politically challenging the European Commission when it comes to its choices in the field of macroeconomic policy. Nevertheless, the ease and the degree with which Neoliberalism (here meant as a Washington Consensus-based disciplinary ideology aiming at limiting the degree of politicization of the economic realm and the choices of states when it comes to their macroeconomic policies ) remains dominant at the EU level poses a question: Is the European Union inherently neoliberal or demand-led growth models are still possible? The reasons why finding an answer to this question is in our interest is grounded in the proliferation of radical political responses in several European countries (including Italy, Greece and - to a lesser degree - France) partly coming as a consequence of their stagnating (whilst not declining) economies. On one hand the European Union’s economy in the last few years has been keeping up to its self-set standards, on the other hand some countries appear to be far from catching up with the top-performers despite having structurally adjusted their economies to the taste of the neoliberal narrative. More importantly, the implementation of neoliberal policies has mostly been done at the expense of the existing welfare states, organized labor and national economic independence. Although the aforementioned growth of populist parties has yet to translate into those states actually taking real steps towards exiting the EU, the macroeconomic powerlessness of these countries seems doomed to persist, and so does the growth of radical parties and/or ideas. In this thesis I am going to argue that the EU is not an inherently neoliberal project of economic integration but it will be argued that the European political economy under the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) entails a clear neoliberal bias which prevents the EU and its member states from pursuing alternative paths. Furthermore, it will be argued that as it is currently structured, the EMU constitutes an hinderance to growth and employment in the continent as it systematically prevents the formation of adequate levels of aggregate demand.

▼ The IMF and the World Bank advocated two political-economic policies that incited a conspicuous institutional makeover in sub-Saharan Africa. These neoliberal policies are Structural Adjustment Programs (economic liberalization) and transitions from single-party regimes to pluralist-cum-liberal systems (political liberalization). Even though studies of the economic impact of liberalization abound, its effect on social wellbeing is yet to be ascertained. In fact, the reversal of development trajectories in Africa in the last two decades of the 20th C, the (neo)liberalization era, still baffles social scientists. This dissertation traces the association between liberalization and population health-measured by infant mortality risk— in Kenya, Malawi, Tanzania, and Zambia. Contrary to the available literature, this dissertation considers the two liberalization initiatives as a combined policy stemming from a neoliberal interpretation of “good governance,” which eventually became development policy orthodoxy in the 1990s. Using population health as a site of study, this dissertation makes sense of recent anomalous development trajectories in Africa, and it underscores the potentially contradictory relationship between political and economic liberalization. This research, which is among the few to include “political economy variables” in demographic models, uses nationally-representative surveys of nearly 30,000 infants per country born between 1985 and 2005 merged with macro-level socioeconomic and foreign investments indicators. I conduct a quantitative-comparative analysis following the Nested Analysis Approach through which I examine key variables comparatively across strategically selected cases while paying attention to shifting levels of analysis. The analysis finds inconsistent associations between introduction of multipartism and health indicators at the aggregate level; moreover, whether a power switch from incumbents to opposition parties happened at the transition and the salience of ethnic cleavages in a given country determine within-country spatial inequality. However, later stages of economic liberalization are associated with improved health in post-socialist Tanzania and Zambia. In particular, the analysis finds a lower differential risk of infant mortality in Zambia, where democratization preceded marketization, relative to Tanzania, where the reverse sequencing took place. Finally, a detailed study of Tanzania demonstrates how particularistic local political economies, such as Tanzania’s Ujamaa na Kujitegemea pre-liberalization ethos, mediate global governance forces leading to path-dependent developmental paths.

▼ 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.

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…

▼ The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between wealth, wealth inequality and health. The study has a cross-national focus and employs a political economy perspective, which addresses the macro-political determinants of health. The dissertation is comprised of two sets of analyses. In Part 1, logistic regression analyses confirm that wealth, whether measured as home ownership, the value of the home, or net worth, is a significant predictor of self-rated health in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Germany. The relationship between wealth and self-rated health is weakest in Germany. Case studies of the three countries indicate that this weaker relationship may be linked to more generous welfare state provisions in Germany. In Part 2, bivariate analyses reveal that wealth inequality, whether measured as the Gini coefficient or the share of wealth held by the richest 10% of the population, is related to poorer population health outcomes in developed countries. Both unweighted and weighted correlations are strong and significant, even after controlling for a variety of potential macro-level confounders. The results are strongest for female life expectancy and infant mortality. In-depth analysis of the countries with the most equitable distribution of wealth and the best health outcomes reveals several themes: high rates of home ownership, relatively generous pensions, stronger regulatory frameworks, taxation of wealth, increased social expenditures in recent years, and social cohesion. The results of this dissertation suggest that wealth is an axis of inequality that deserves far more attention from sociologists, particularly in relation to population health. Relying on income alone to describe inequality and form public policy is inadequate for understanding and addressing the economic and health circumstances of individuals and families. The inclusion of wealth in sociological studies of health disparities will result in a more accurate picture of social stratification, and will result in better informed social policy. Finally, the use of a political economy framework allows us to better understand, and potentially change, the political and economic processes through which the distribution of both wealth and health occurs.

▼ This study analysed the determinants of participation in voting and electoral choices by citizens, and established the relationship between national presidential elections and the performance of the economy in Ghana's Fourth Republican era from 1992 to 2016. The study proceeds within the theoretical framework of political economy which looks at the interplay between economics and politics using macro-micro approach. The study conceptualised political economy as an approach focusing on the application of economic tools of analysis to the study of economy and electoral behaviour within the multi-party democratic framework of Ghana‟s Fourth Republic. The study utilises macro-level data (secondary district-level data) to establish the determinants of voter participation, impairment of voter participation through the incidence of spoilt ballots, and actual voter choices using the 2000 and 2012 national presidential elections results synchronised with the 2000 and 2010 population and housing censuses respectively, and involving all 216 districts. The study also analysed the determinants of voter participation and electoral choices based on micro-level data (survey data) from a random sample of 600 respondents in four electorally-swing districts in the Brong Ahafo and Central regions to examine several hypotheses concerning electoral behaviour within the multi-party democratic framework where ethnicity was not a dominant factor influencing voter choice in order to unravel the other key factors influencing voter choices beyond the ethnicity factor. Based on the macro-level and district-level data, the analysis of the determinants of voting participation revealed that the locality factor (urban-rural) was a significant factor. However, the results were mixed with increasing urban share of the population in a district leading to increasing turnout rate of voters for the 2000 Presidential election, while the opposite result held for the 2012 Presidential election. Voter turnout tended to decrease with increasing proportion of age dependency ratio in a district. This suggested that districts with higher age dependency ratios tended to participate less in voting, a plausible outcome which also suggested that increasing poverty burden discouraged participation in voting. Voter turnout tended to increase with increasing proportion of Asantes in a district in Ghana and decreased with increasing proportion of Ewes in a district in the 2012 Presidential election; but did not produce clear results for the 2000 election. On spoilt ballots, the study found that for both 2000 and 2012 Presidential elections, the relative intensity of spoilt ballots was its literacy level with increasing levels linked with reduced spoilt ballots. Also, the regression analysis of voter choices for both the 2012 and 2000 national presidential elections clearly showed that ethnicity, with regards to these two dominant groups in Ghana, was a major determinant of electoral outcomes. Asantes and Ewes vote largely on ethnic lines for the respective parties…

▼ The present thesis addresses the policy and technological aspects of national (and sub-national) greenhouse gases (GHG) abatement strategies. Two of the three chapters of this thesis explore the former, respectively investigating (i) domestic political economy constraints and (ii) processes of policy diffusion across jurisdictions. One chapter focuses on the latter, advancing methodologies for the identification of firm-level innovation in (GHG- reducing) electricity supply technologies. A key empirical contribution of this thesis, presented in the first chapter, is the construction and calculation of an average (emissions-weighted) price of carbon for the jurisdictions under study, which shows, among other insights, that the world average price remains extremely low, at about 1.5USD/tCO2e in 2018. In addition, the analysis in this chapter suggests that (i) political economy factors primarily affected policy implementation and (ii) policy stringency is a highly persistent process. Our next chapter investigates policy diffusion processes and proposes that these are related to an alteration of the net payoffs of domestic climate policy and an update on the information about the benefits (or costs) of policy adoption derived from the adoption of a similar policy or the deployment of abatement technology in foreign juris- dictions. The evidence suggests that technology demonstration and learning from past policy experience positively affect (domestic) policy developments. The last chapter focuses on the identification of (GHG-abating) electricity supply technologies using a machine learning search strategy based on patents’ title and abstract. This approach highlighted the role of “lateral" innovation in the development of some electricity generation technologies. In addition, by linking the identified patent set to legal entities, we uncover the role of firms’ technological entry and exit in technology transition and shed light on the business structure of technologically active entities. The present work allowed me to address fundamental questions pertaining to the design of climate change mitigation strategies. First, our results stress the importance of the sequence of introduction of the climate policies, suggesting that policies weakening incumbents’ political and economic influence might foster subsequent implementation of more stringent policies. Second, given the weakness of most existing carbon pricing schemes, a rationale for the development of climate mitigation strategies with multiple GHG abatement tools continues to exist. Third, mechanisms of policy diffusion at play could prove highly valuable when seeking to introduce carbonpricing mechanisms in new jurisdictions. Finally, we point at the need to target public support to sustain the stream of GHG-abating electricity supply technologies primarily at new (technological) entrants.

▼ This thesis is concerned with varying rates (i.e. speeds) of system dissolution in the international monetary domain. International monetary systems, such as the gold-dollar system and inter-war order, often suddenly and unexpectedly collapse. Yet other monetary orders, such as the Sterling Area and the long-forgotten Latin Monetary Union, for no less obscure reasons, have declined gradually. The puzzle is why. I begin by taking seriously the initial conditions that give rise to international monetary systems, for those historical conditions shape the modalities of leadership and political conflicts that drive systems towards particular kinds of ends. In this context, I draw on the classical distinction between spontaneous and negotiated orders. Whereas spontaneous orders emerge around natural processes of trade and financial integration, without any conscious act of creation, negotiated orders emerge through deliberate and directed action. The study breaks with traditional understandings, however, in arguing that the most important legacy of these historical processes is not that spontaneous orders are decentralised while negotiated ones are hierarchical. In fact, all international monetary systems exhibit a strongly hierarchical character. Instead, I highlight, on the one hand, the centrality of collective institutionalised bargaining between integrated national monetary agencies (i.e., treasuries and central bank officials) in negotiated systems and, on the other, the absence of collective institutional bargaining in more atomised spontaneous systems. This structural distinction is the key legacy of the different historical processes of negotiated and spontaneous system formation. Contrary to conventional wisdom and intuition, I argue that spontaneous systems - plagued by non-association and lacking ready mechanisms of directed adjustment - establish the conditions for slow decline, while negotiated systems - geared to withstand economic and social change through institutionalised collective bargaining and concerted adjustment - establish the conditions for rapid collapse. My framework treats the ultimate unit of analysis as the policy choices made by leaders confronting problems. Specifically, the analysis logically deduces two distinct modalities of leadership that emerge as structural variables interact with political conflicts over preferred policy solutions. I label these modes of action appropriative and exclusory leadership. Appropriative leadership involves coopting administrative resources by negotiating with members of monetary institutions to meet problems. Exclusory leadership is geared towards retaining the non-trivial advantages that flow from not having to bargain over the terms of continuation. Under both modalities, leaders exploit their strategic position, distorting information and manipulating costs and benefits to promote their particular interests and goals. Both modalities involve tensions between leadership and membership interests and challenges to systems optimisation. But appropriative…

▼ 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.
