Numerous studies have been conducted on government performance. There are competing explanations of government performance among exogenous economic and political shocks, social capital, intuitional capacity, and leadership. How do economic crises, globalization, and social capital influence government capacity or performance? What are the most important impacts of global economic shock and e-governance on the function of government performance? Which policy tools are more or less effective to mediate the function of government performance? These are a fundamental and enduring question for scholars in the field of public management. The empirical literature on these questions is rich and diverse but we still need more rigorous theoretical frameworks and methodologies for clear causal mechanisms and solid measurements in government performance. Cross-national comparisons have become particularly useful to understand these research questions.
Detailed conference topics include:
- Economic shocks, Governance, and Government Capacity
- Globalization, New Public Management, and Government Failure
- Government Performance, Citizen Participation, and E-governance
- Government Performance, Executive Leadership, and Bureaucracy
- Measurement and Methodological Issues of Government Performance
- Policy Outcomes and Policy Instruments
- Issues of Public Production Function
- Other related topics
