Public Employees as Politicians: Evidence from Close Elections

2017

We analyze the effect of municipal employees’ political representation in municipal councils on local public spending. We use within-party, as-good-as-random variation in close elections in the Finnish open-list proportional election system to quantify the effect. One more councilor employed by the public sector increases spending by about 1%. The effect comes largely through the largest party and is specific to the employment sector of the municipal employee. The results are consistent with public employees having an information advantage over other politicians, and thus, being able to influence policy.

Velan ja vyönkiristyksen Irlanti : tulkintoja protestien ja niiden puuttumisen syistä

Tämä kriisi tuli ja meni –narratiivi kuitenkin sivuuttaa kahdenlaisia tärkeitä kysymyksiä. Ensinnäkin julkista talouttaan raskaasti kiristävässä maassa lukuisten ihmisten henk…

Digitalization of global economy and public sector funding

This report aims to trigger discussion.

We are grateful for the contribution of the PVN researchers: Raija Koivisto, Heidi Auvinen, Brenda Fox, Victor Vurpillat and David Rejeski. Conclusi…
