[WP] Kevin Croke, Benjamin Daniels, Robert Lipinski and Daniel Rogger (2024) Motivating Improved Healthcare Using Holistic Patient Contracts [click for abstract and pre-results publication]

The implicit contract in most primary healthcare provision has been the responsiveness of doctors to signals of ill-health by patients. For this to be socially optimal, patients must effectively identify underlying health issues or primary care doctors must effectively screen and identify latent conditions. This paper examines the impacts of doctors and patients writing an explicit contract for more holistic primary care. Without punishments for reneging on contract stipulations, the intervention aimed to shift the relational contract between the two parties away from episodic curative care and towards a holistic plan for patient welfare. In a large-scale randomized evaluation of these contracts tracked through the universe of patient records, the program caused changes in doctor activities towards greater screening, diagnosis and treatment of underlying health issues. For mild-risk patients, we see reductions in overall mortality of 40%. Thus, this paper provides evidence that shifts in the nature of the contracting relationship between patients and their care providers can have substantial welfare effects.

Jozefina Kalaj, Daniel Rogger and Ravi Somani (2022) Bureaucrat time-use: Evidence from a survey experiment, World Development 152 [click for abstract]

Bureaucratic effectiveness is an important input into state capacity. The tasks public officials choose to spend their time on determines how their human capital impacts national development. Yet empirical evidence on the measurement and allocation of public officials’ time use is scarce. We provide empirical evidence in this domain through a survey experiment with Ethiopian bureaucrats. We randomly test alternative measures of bureaucratic time use by varying recall period, enumeration methodology and the degree of task detail in recall surveys. Relative to time-use diaries, we find that the best-performing survey modules differ by roughly a third of working time and that requesting more detailed breakdowns of time use significantly increases this disparity. We explore empirically how the allocation of time use correlates with individual characteristics, management practices, and service delivery outcomes.

Imran Rasul, Daniel Rogger and Martin Williams (2021) Management, Organizational Performance, and Task Clarity: Evidence from Ghana’s Civil Service, Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory 31 (2): pp.259-277 [click for abstract]

We study the relationship between management practices, organizational performance, and task clarity, using observational data analysis on an original survey of the universe of Ghanaian civil servants across 45 organizations and novel administrative data on over 3,600 tasks they undertake. We first demonstrate that there is a large range of variation across government organizations, both in management quality and in task completion, and show that management quality is positively related to task completion. We then provide evidence that this association varies across dimensions of management practice. In particular, task completion exhibits a positive partial correlation with management practices related to giving staff autonomy and discretion, but a negative partial correlation with practices related to incentives and monitoring. Consistent with theories of task clarity and goal ambiguity, the partial relationship between incentives/monitoring and task completion is less negative when tasks are clearer ex ante and the partial relationship between autonomy/discretion and task completion is more positive when task completion is clearer ex post. Our findings suggest that organizations could benefit from providing their staff with greater autonomy and discretion, especially for types of tasks that are ill-suited to predefined monitoring and incentive regimes.

To what extent do public officials feel they have control over their lives in public service? We develop a new measure of perceived control in the bureaucracy based on the locus of control index. The ‘Bureaucratic Locus of Control’ (BLOC) index extends standard measures to a bureaucratic context as well as introduces an extension to these measures that focuses on the power of systemic forces in officials’ lives. Field tests amongst a representative sample of Ethiopian public officials suggest that the BLOC index has good internal reliability and that it is positively associated with promotion opportunities, rewards and motivation. We showcase its use by investigating the extent to which inequality in control impacts the general perception of control. Potential uses of the scale to study bureaucratic dynamics are discussed.

[WP] Aidan Coville and Daniel Rogger (2018)  Who Visits Villages? Evidence from Visitor Books [click for abstract]

How does the outside world enter village life? Understanding who visits a village, and when, requires comprehensive records of visitors and their purpose. Fortunately, many rural communities keep exactly that - detailed visitor log books that record visits from external organizations. We use a sample of such books to provide a detailed picture of the outside world's engagement with villages in Tanzania. Government officials make up half of these visits, and visit most intensively at the start of the year, and at the start of the week. The top three reasons for visits are related to social services in the health, water and agriculture/environment sectors. The paper argues why visitor books are a potentially useful source of data on the experience of villagers and the activities of the public officials who serve them.

Imran Rasul and Daniel Rogger (2018) Management of Bureaucrats and Public Service Delivery: Evidence from the Nigerian Civil Service, Economic Journal 128 (608): pp.413-446 [click for abstract]

We study how the management practices bureaucrats operate under correlate to the quantity of public services delivered, using data from the Nigerian Civil Service. We have hand-coded independent engineering assessments of 4700 project completion rates. We supplement this with a management survey in the bureaucracies responsible for these projects, building on Bloom and Van Reenen [2007]. Management practices matter: increasing bureaucrats’ autonomy is positively associated with completion rates, yet practices related to incentives/monitoring of bureaucrats are negatively associated with completion rates. Our evidence provides new insights on the importance of management in public bureaucracies in a developing country setting.

[WP] Daniel Rogger (2017) Who Serves the Poor? Surveying Civil Servants in the Developing World [click for abstract]

Who are the civil servants that serve poor people in the developing world? This paper uses direct surveys of civil servants - the professional body of administrators who manage government policy - and their organisations from Ethiopia, Ghana, Indonesia, Nigeria, Pakistan and the Philippines, to highlight key aspects of their characteristics and experience of civil service life. Civil servants in the developing world face myriad challenges to serving the world’s poor, from limited facilities to significant political interference in their work. There are a number of commonalities across service environments, and the paper tries to summarise these in a series of ‘stylized facts’ of the civil service in the developing world. At the same time, the particular challenges faced by a public official vary substantially across and within countries and regions. For example, measured management practices differ widely across local governments of a single state in Nigeria. Using micro-level surveys of civil servants allows us to document these differences, build better models of the public sector, and make more informed policy choices.

An online appendix provides an overview of the major civil servant surveys of the last decade or so.

[WP] Daniel Rogger and Luke Sibieta (2017)  The Power of Public Appointments [click for abstract]

This paper explores the use of public appointments as an incentive for public action. In particular, it assesses whether making someone an honorary public official within a community shifts their identity or broader incentives towards the community’s aggregate welfare. We present a model of public appointments and test its predictions in a real-world appointment scheme focussed on residential streets in a borough of London, UK. We find that pure public appointments, with no accompanying increase in powers, increases citizens' efforts towards the production of street cleansing and beautification on their respective streets. Incentives accompanying the appointments turn out to be necessary for us to be able to detect substantive changes in the provision of these local public goods and on measures of social capital amongst neighbours. The nature of accompanying incentives influences the outcome of the appointment scheme. A regime that emphasizes citizens' identity as change agents in the community is more effective in improving citizen satisfaction with their neighbourhood, whilst incentives provided at the community level generate greater social cohesion amongst neighbours. The paper provides some of the first evidence of the incentive regimes that might underlie long-term service contracts between citizens and the state, and highlights the potential boundaries of citizen involvement in delivering public services.

Imran Rasul and Daniel Rogger (2015) The Impact of Ethnic Diversity in Bureaucracies: Evidence from the Nigerian Civil Service, American Economic Review, Papers and Proceedings, 105(5): pp.457-461 [click for abstract]

We document the correlation between the workplace diversity in bureaucratic organizations and public service delivery. We do so in the context of Nigeria, where ethnicity is a salient form of self-identity. We thus expand the empirical management literature highlighting beneficial effects of workplace diversity, that has focused on private sector firms operating in high-income settings. Our analysis combines two data sources: (i) a survey to over 4000 bureaucrats eliciting their ethnic identities; (ii) independent engineering assessments of completion rates for 4700 public sector projects. The ethnic diversity of bureaucracies matters positively: a one standard deviation increase in the ethnic diversity of bureaucrats corresponds to 9% higher completion rates. In line with the management literature from private sector firms in high-income countries, this evidence highlights a potentially positive side of ethnic diversity in public sector organizations, in the context of Sub Saharan Africa.

Daniel Rogger (2009), “Delivering Public Services in the Developing World: Frontiers of Research” Oxonomics 4:1, pp.19-24 [click for abstract]

This essay presents a view of the frontiers of research on public service delivery in the developing world, based on a series of interviews with researchers and practitioners actively working in this field. It recognizes the lasting contribution of the theoretical framework laid down by the World Development Report 2004 that emphasized accountability, and the randomized evaluations that have taken place to test and develop this theory. Research on other questions, such as those relating to the analysis of politics and the structure and organization of government, is at an earlier stage, and is likely to need a more structural approach. There are many questions still to be answered in this field.

World Bank (2021) “Data, Digitalization, and Governance” Europe and Central Asia Economic Update (Spring 2021) [click for abstract]

Governments play a critical role in the economies of Europe and Central Asia, where government expenditures are close to 40 percent of gross domestic product and the public sector accounts for nearly 27 percent of total employment, which is almost twice the global average. The public sector often attracts some of the best educated workers in the region. And support for a larger public sector is increasing due to aging populations and their growing health care and long-term care needs, rising inequality and greater support for redistribution, and increasing expenditures as governments address the challenges posed by the COVID-19 crisis. The significant role that government plays underscores the importance of the quality of governance in determining productivity and growth and effectively responding to the region’s economic and social challenges. Digital technology and the data revolution offer the potential to increase efficiency, transparency, responsiveness, and citizen trust, directly impacting the quality of government. Across the world, the quality of government is increasingly informed by the extent to which governments harness digital tools and GovTech to optimize management, service delivery, and overall state capacity. Technology and data are also key for fostering collaboration between governments and civil society to improve public sector efficiency and service delivery. The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the costs associated with delaying digitalization and GovTech implementation and the opportunities that lie in public sector modernization.
