Wybrane wydatki spółek z udziałem Skarbu Państwa - nadzór nad fundacjami i ich gospodarka finansowa

Edyta Kosiarz, Dariusz Szałkowski

Kontrola Państwowa > 2024 > 69 > 3 (416) > 64-76

Analiza działań państwowych spółek dotycząca sponsoringu, darowizn i wydatków na usługi prawne wskazuje na poprawę w tym obszarze, niemniej część podmiotów nadal omija regulacje wewnętrzne bądź w ogóle takich przepisów nie posiada. Jest to niepokojące, zwłaszcza że wydawano na nie dziesiątki, a nawet setki milionów złotych. Badaniem objęto także fundacje, których głównymi darczyńcami były kontrolowane...

More long‐term care for better healthcare and vice versa: investigating the mortality effects of interactions between these public sectors

Francesco Longo, Karl Claxton, Stephen Martin, James Lomas

Fiscal Studies > 44 > 2 > 189 - 216

Public healthcare (HC) and long‐term care (LTC) sectors coexist in several OECD countries. Economic interactions between these two sectors have been found to occur even in the absence of formal integrated care arrangements. We investigate whether and how interactions between the HC and LTC sectors impact mortality. We analyse data on English local authorities in 2014–15 and employ a sequence of cross‐sectional...

We use national Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS) datasets from Nigeria, Tanzania, and Uganda to examine consumption by the rural and urban poor of “unhealthy foods” (including ultra‐processed foods such as sweets and sugary beverages) versus “healthy foods” beyond starchy staples (such as vegetables, beans, animal products, and fruits). Consumption of processed foods and nonstaples is often...

The consequences of mandatory corporate social responsibility expenditure: An empirical evidence from India

Ritika Gupta, Jadhav Chakradhar

Business and Society Review > 127 > 1 > 49 - 68

The transition in governmental approach towards corporate social responsibility (CSR) from voluntary to mandatory has received much attention in the recent literature, mainly because the delegation of its role in social development has rarely been provided. In this context, the questions we raise are: Does mandatory CSR leads to higher expenditure? How does it affect business leaders' intrinsic motivation...

Projected private hospital expenditure in Ireland, 2018–2035: What role for demographics, cost, and Sláintecare?

Conor Keegan, Aoife Brick, Edward Henry, Adele Bergin

The International Journal of Health Planning and Management > 37 > 2 > 999 - 1017

Despite private hospitals occupying an important role in the delivery of acute hospital care in Ireland, an understanding of future spending pressures on these services is limited. Particularly, a key dimension of Ireland's ambitious roadmap for healthcare reform (Sláintecare) seeks to remove private practice from public hospitals. However, to date, there has been no examination of how this reform...

Does urbanization matter in the expenditure‐happiness nexus?

Cristina Bernini, Silvia Emili, Federica Galli

Papers in Regional Science > 100 > 6 > 1403 - 1428

This study aims to improve the regional well‐being literature on the so‐called “reversal issue” of the expenditure‐happiness nexus, accounting for two main sources of heterogeneity: degree of urbanization and individual spending habits. Moreover, we investigate the role of happiness across the entire expenditure distribution using a quantile modelling approach. The results show that satisfaction has...

The shape of gambling risk‐curves for frequency, expenditure and proportion of income in Australia

Christopher J. Greenwood, George J. Youssef, Stephanie S. Merkouris, Nicki A. Dowling

Addiction > 116 > 11 > 3219 - 3226

Background and aim Examining risk‐curves is important to understanding the degree to which indices of gambling consumption are associated with gambling‐related harm. Risk‐curves have largely been described as J‐shaped, suggesting that at low levels of consumption harm remain constant but then increase sharply at a certain threshold. Alternative methods in recent work, however, have described risk‐curves...

Measuring fiscal interactions in local federalism: Evidence from Florida

Kevin Willardsen

Papers in Regional Science > 100 > 4 > 891 - 923

Local governments react to one another in expenditure. However, the existing literature concerning these reactions suffer from one of three problems: timing dynamics, county behaviour, or over aggregation. City‐to‐city interaction estimates are shown to shrink up to 50% when appropriately dealing with dynamics and county behaviour using a dynamic spatial Durbin model with a maximum likelihood estimator...

Addendum to Killeen's (2019) Bidding for Delayed Rewards

Peter R. Killeen

Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior > 113 > 3 > 680 - 689

Killeen (2019) portrayed an intimate relation between diverse economic indices, in particular compensation functions, discount functions, and demand functions. The article bemused some experts, however, by its counterintuitive prediction of an increase in the amount bid as the delay increased. Furthermore, the article failed to provide an explicit treatment of the small–soon versus large–late choice...

Anna Kobiałka

Prace Naukowe Uniwersytetu Ekonomicznego we Wrocławiu > 2020 > vol. 64, nr 6 > 103-114

‘Gmina’ (i.e. a commune, a principal unit of administrative division in Poland) is required to perform specific tasks and incur expenditure related to its performance. Therefore, local government authorities must make decisions about the level and purpose of local expenditure. A particularly significant determinant of local development policy is expenditure on financing infrastructure investment....
