ejge: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called ejge.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

European; Economics; Countries; Economic; Growth; Policy; Model; Market; Public; Impact; Level; Results; Rate; Management; Income; Population; Spain; Interest; Indicators; Parties; City; Cent

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Regional demands for policy participation in the EU multilevel system by Studinger, Philipp; Bauer, Michael W.

• The effect of subsidising firms on voting behaviour: Evidence from Flemish elections by Buts, Caroline; Jegers, Marc; Jottier, Dimi (2012) - Instead of higher subsidies leading to better election outcome, one could argue that more subsidies are awarded to regions where incumbent support was rather low in the past. Throughout the four estimations, we find that there is a significant positive relationship between subsidies and the vote share in 2009, meaning that cantons that receive high subsidies the year previous to the elections reward incumbent 9 Keywords: aid; economic; elections; european; firms; government; incumbent; journal; parties; politicians; spending; subsidies; vote

• Corruption and Growth: Evidence from the Italian regions by Fiorino, Nadia; Galli, Emma; Petrarca, Ilaria (2012) - We re-address this issue for a more recent period of the Italian history (1980-2004) characterised by high variability in both growth rates and corruption crimes.

• The Commission’s internal conditions for social re-regulation: Market efficiency and wider social goals in setting the rules for financial services in Europe by Hartlapp, Miriam; Rauh, Christian (2013) - Consequently, it is relevant to ask for the conditions under which EU market regulation pursues social goals that go beyond mere market efficiency. We draw up two ideal-type perspectives of market regulation – being either efficiency or equality enhancing – that differ systematically in terms of rationale, degree of intervention, patterns of stakeholder access and conflict within the regulator.

Greer ● The Common Agricultural Policy and the EU budget 121 Budgetary considerations have played a key role in agricultural policy change, sometimes bringing the issue onto the policy agenda and opening a policy window for CAP reform, for example the crisis of over-production in the 1980s.

• The scope of public organisations with productive functions: insights from the inefficiency of Italian local public transport by Di Foggia, Giacomo; Arrigo, Ugo (2015) - We also agree with findings of the Competition authority AGCOM (2014) who advises that the most important aspects for the market development are the proper definition of the areas of public service, both in terms of territory as regards the nature of the services offered and the definition of minimum services and the related question of the correct quantification of the compensation of the public service obligations.

• A quick indicator of effectiveness of “capacity building” initiatives of NGOs and international organizations by Lempert, David (2015) - In short, foxes have entered the henhouse in design and implementation of capacity building projects in international development as well as many other governmental systems, and there is a need to devise better oversight systems. The (perhaps intended) result is that development projects often serve the interests of those government bureaucrats channelling the funds and those who receive them rather than the public that is supposed to benefit from measurable results (Lempert, 2008).

• Restructuring the European VAT tax system: advantages and disadvantages of the adoption of a single-rate model - a study based on the Portuguese case by Catarino, João Ricardo; Moraes e Soares, Ricardo (2019) - The economist Arthur Laffer conceived in 1974, a curve to explain the elasticity of tax revenue, and how tax rates influence the amount of revenue. For Laffer, the main objective of the curve was to incite to a critical reflection on distortions and the loss of incentives that tax rates create in the economy, and these rates, as they are increased, can reduce tax revenue (Lima et al., 2006) Keywords: december; economics; european; gdp; government; journal; model; portugal; rate; rate model; revenue; tax; tax rate; tax revenue; vat; vat rate

• The role of automatic stabilizers in business cycle: the case of indonesia by Kuncoro, Haryo; Kuncoro, Haryo (2021) - The a-cyclicality of fiscal policy leads to the presumption of the role of automatic fiscal stabilisers, while the procyclicality of fiscal policy further leads to the role of fiscal discretion, due to the fact that scholars found that there was no counter-cyclicality in fiscal policy (Baldacci, 2009; Akitoby et al., 2004). The procyclicality of fiscal policy tends to induce deficit bias which demands non-systematic discretionary fiscal policy instead of automatic fiscal stabilisers or systematic discretionary fiscal policy.
