The Politics of Public Good Provision: Evidence from Indian Local Governments
利用南印度村庄和家庭调查数据，研究政治地理和政客身份如何影响不同类型的公共品供给，发现高溢出公共品受居住距离影响，低溢出公共品则受群体身份影响。
This paper uses village and household survey data from South India to examine how political geography and politician identity impacts on public good provision. We provide evidence that the nature of this relationship varies by type of public goods. For high spill-over public goods residential proximity to elected representative matters. In contrast, for low spill-over public goods sharing the politician’s group identity is what matters. 1
