We conduct a laboratory study of the group-on group ultimatum bargaining with restricted within-group interaction. In this context, we concentrate on the effect of different within-group voting procedures on the bargaining outcomes. Our experimental observations can be summarized in two propositions. First, individual responder behavior across treatments does not show statistically significant variation across voting rules, implying that group decisions may be viewed as aggregations of independent individual decisions. Second, we observe that proposer behavior significantly depends (in the manner predicted by a simple model) on the within-group decision rule in force among the responders and is generally different from the proposer behavior in the one-on-one bargaining.
En este trabajo se evalúa la cantidad, calidad y armonización de la información financiera publicada por las entidades federativas, el Distrito Federal y el gobierno federal durante el periodo 2008-2012, a raíz de la aprobación de la Ley General de Contabilidad Gubernamental (LGCG). En primer lugar, se emplean los requerimientos señalados por el CONAC y, posteriormente las Normas Internacionales de Contabilidad del Sector Público 1 (IPSAS por sus siglas en inglés) para evaluar la publicación de los estados financieros. En segundo lugar, se reporta el cumplimiento de la publicación de las cuentas que señalan los IPSAS 1, 2 y 17. Finalmente, se estudia la armonización de los estados financieros mediante el índice Herfindahl-Hirschman para determinar si los estados financieros son comparables entre sí. Los resultados apuntan a que el sector público ha aumentado la cantidad, calidad y la armonización de la información financiera publicada durante el periodo de estudio.
En este estudio se revisan los métodos con que es posible calcular el esfuerzo y la capacidad fiscal de una región, y se demuestra que la falta de disponibilidad de información limita las posibilidades de examinar estos aspectos de las finanzas públicas. Se presentan además algunos de los esfuerzos teóricos y empíricos que se han realizado con la intención de brindar un panorama general sobre el tema. Se calculan el esfuerzo y la capacidad fiscal de 2 412 gobiernos locales de México para los años 1993 a 2004. Los resultados cuestionan el mito de que los gobiernos locales grandes suelen desarrollar un mayor esfuerzo fiscal ante la política de transferencias, sean éstas condicionadas o no condicionadas. AbstractThis study reviews the methods used to calculate the fiscal effort and capacity of a region, showing that the lack of available information reduces the possibilities of examining these aspects of public finances. It also presents some of the theoretical and empirical efforts made to provide an overview of the issue. The fiscal effort and capacity of 2,412 local governments in Mexico is calculated for the period from 1993 to 2004. The results question the myth that large local governments tend to make a greater fiscal effort as a result of the policy of transfers, regardless of whether or not the latter are conditioned.
This work evaluates the amount, quality, and harmonization of the financial information published by Mexico City, the states, and the Federal Government during the period of 2008-2012, following the approval of the General Law of Government Accounting (LGCG). Firstly, the requirements indicated by the CONAC and subsequently by the International Public Sector Accounting Standards (IPSAS) are used to evaluate the publication of financial statements. Secondly, the compliance of the publication of the accounts indicated by IPSAS 1, 2 and 17 is reported. Finally, the harmonization of the financial statements is studied through the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) to determine if the financial statements are comparable with one another. The results indicate that the public sector has increased the amount, quality, and harmonization of the financial information published during the study period.
