Political leadership and bureaucratic autonomy. Effects of agencification
Egeberg, Morten; Trondal, Jarle - ARENA - 2009
Previous studies have shown that agencification tends to undermine political control within a government portfolio. However, doubts have been raised as regards the robustness of these findings. In this paper we document that agency officials pay significantly less attention to signals from...

The Anatomy of Autonomy: Reassessing the Autonomy of the European Commission
Trondal, Jarle - ARENA - 2007
The European Commission (Commission) occupies a pivotal role as the key executive institution of the European Union (EU). Yet, the factual autonomy of the Commission remains largely unexplored, contributing to contradictory assessments of it. The ambition of this study is to reassess the...

Building executive power at the European level. On the role of EU-level agencies
Egeberg, Morten; Martens, Maria; Trondal, Jarle - ARENA - 2009
Establishing separate executive bodies of a confederation or of a nascent federation of states seems in many respects to be the ‘hard case’ of institution-building. This article argues that ‘agencification’ at the EU level is basically about increasing the potential for more uniform...

Migration and Development Research Is Moving Far beyond Remittances - Working Paper 365
Clemens, Michael; Özden, Çaglar; Rapoport, Hillel - 2014
Research on migration and development has recently changed, in two ways. First, it has grown sharply in volume, emerging as a proper subfield. Second, while it once embraced principally rural-urban migration and international remittances, migration and development research has broadened to...

Skill Development and Regional Mobility: Lessons from the Australia-Pacific Technical College - Working Paper 370
Clemens, Michael; Graham, Colum; Howes, Stephen - 2014
Developing countries invest in training skilled workers and can lose part of their investment if those workers emigrate. One response is for the destination countries to design ways to participate in financing skilled emigrants’ training before they migrate—linking skill creation and skill...

A Case against Taxes and Quotas on High-Skill Emigration - Working Paper 363
Clemens, Michael - 2014
Skilled workers have a rising tendency to emigrate from developing countries, raising fears that their departure harms the poor. To mitigate such harm, researchers have proposed a variety of policies designed to tax or restrict high-skill migration. Those policies have been justified as Pigovian...

A note for “On an inventory model for deteriorating items and time-varying demand”
Chu, Peter; Chen, Patrick S. - In: Mathematical Methods of Operations Research 53 (2001) 2, pp. 297-307
In this technical note we discuss a paper of Benkherouf and Balkhi recently published in Mathematical Methods of Operations Research. They established the model for deteriorating items with increasing demand and proved the uniqueness for the solution of the system of first partial derivatives....
