Romer, T., &Rosenthal, H. (1982). Median voters or budget maximizers: Evidence from school expenditure referenda. Economic Inquiry, 20(4), 556-578.
Some readers may have found these results of greater interest were we able to confirm the directional hypotheses of the certainty setter model in addition to finding that spending is “related” to the reversion – the much weaker prediction of the uncertainty model. Yet the failure of the certainty When base elections were optional, …
Weingast, B. R., &Moran, M. J. (1983). Bureaucratic discretion or congressional control? Regulatory policymaking by the Federal Trade Commission. Journal of Political Economy, 91(5), 765-800.
This paper extends Stigler and Peltzman’s approach to regulation by incorporating a legislature. The model yields comparative statics results and hence testable implications. The paper then tests between two opposing approaches about regulatory agency behavior. The first assumes agencies operate independently of the legislature and hence exercise discretion; the second assumes that Congress controls agency …

Vaubel, R. (1994). The political economy of centralization and the European Community. Public Choice, 81(1-2), 151-190.
Since 1972, the share of central government expenditure in total public expenditure has continued to increase in most industrial countries. In an international cross-section analysis, it has a significant positive effect on the share of government spending in GDP. The actors who have an interest in centralization are analyzed. The dynamics of centralization are attributed …
Kirchgässner, G., &Pommerehne, W. W. (1996). Tax harmonization and tax competition in the European Union: Lessons from Switzerland. Journal of Public Economics, 60(3), 351-371.
This paper presents empirical evidence on individual income tax competition in Switzerland. Tax competition has some influence on the spread of people with high income over the cantons, and it is partly capitalised in dwelling rents. However, it neither leads to a collapse of public good supply nor makes redistribution by the fiscal authorities impossible. …
Ashworth, J., Heyndels, B., &Smolders, C. (2002). Redistribution as a local public good: an empirical test for Flemish municipalities. Kyklos, 55(1), 27-56.
Redistribution is typically viewed as a task of the central government. However, in most federal countries local governments do have some discretion in redistribution policy. The main theoretical argument for this is that redistribution may be a local public good (Pauly 1973). Using data on Flemish municipalities, we present a first empirical test of Pauly’s …

Hancock*, P. A., &Weaver, J. L. (2005). On time distortion under stress. Theoretical issues in ergonomics science, 6(2), 193-211.
Under conditions of extreme and life-threatening stress, people often report distortions of time. These distortional experiences are critical since, axiomatically, they occur in circumstances where small variations in behavior can mean the difference between survival and extinction. The present work examines the spectrum of evidence concerning such phenomena including observations from real-world events such as …
Salovey, P., &Mayer, J. D. (1990). Emotional intelligence. Imagination, cognition and personality, 9(3), 185-211.
This article presents a framework for emotional intelligence, a set of skills hypothesized to contribute to the accurate appraisal and expression of emotion in oneself and in others, the effective regulation of emotion in self and others, and the use of feelings to motivate, plan, and achieve in one’s life. We start by reviewing the …
