Designing State Clean Air Agencies: Administrative Procedures and Bureaucratic Autonomy
研究行政程序如何影响州空气污染控制项目中政府与非政府团体的政策影响力，发现行政程序塑造了官僚自主性及立法机关与利益集团的影响力。
This study examines how administrative procedures structure the degree of policy influence different governmental and non-governmental groups exercise in states' air pollution control programs. Drawing on a variety of data, including a unique survey of state air pollution control agencies, our analysis shows that administrative procedures affect the degree of bureaucratic autonomy and level of influence legislatures and interest groups exercise in state air pollution programs. Overall, the results suggest that hardwiring administrative procedures theories may be more accurate than fire alarm theories of legislative oversight.
