District Attorney Compensation And Performance, Bryan Mccannon, Morgan Stockham, Gregory Deangelo
District Attorney Compensation And Performance, Bryan Mccannon, Morgan Stockham, Gregory Deangelo
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
Does prosecutor pay impact performance? We attempt to identify the causal effect of wages on a prosecutor’s effort by studying a large (41%), exogenous salary increase for district attorneys in New York state. We measure the performance of prosecutors by the likelihood that a conviction is upheld when appealed. If the efficiency wage theory accurately explains non-market actor behavior, then the exogenous wage shock should entice better performance. Alternatively, if individuals who hold public office are motivated primarily by an intrinsic desire to carry out their office duties to the best of their ability rather than strictly financial compensation, then …
Do Elections Encourage Public Actors To Be More Responsive?, Bryan Mccannon, Corey Williams
Do Elections Encourage Public Actors To Be More Responsive?, Bryan Mccannon, Corey Williams
Faculty & Staff Scholarship
In the U.S. many public services are provided by individuals who are selected in local elections. We ask whether elections encourage public actors to be responsive to citizens. We design a novel field experiment where we send an information request to a random sample of prosecutor offices. Whether someone replies to the request is our measurement of responsiveness. We show that offices whose head is up for re-election are more likely to respond. We also show that offices in states that appoint their local prosecutors are substantially less likely to respond than a matched set of offices with elected leadership.
