“…And like the diffusion of adoptions, termination can have contagion effects. Studies find proximate and distant terminations raise the likelihood that more will transpire (Hwang, 2019;Lowry, 2005). The reason may be the same imitative herd behavior or "bandwagon effect" so often documented in diffusion research.…”

“…Even when one may expect a lack of resources to compel repeal, policymakers may be hesitant because transition costs are high (Frantz, 1997). Similarly, ideology's influence, as opposed to the change in ideology reflected in political turnover, is also unsettled, likely because some policies are more inclined to stimulate partisan reactions than others (Graddy & Ye, 2008;Hwang, 2019;Lowry, 2005;Volden, 2016).…”

“…On the other hand, contrasting evidence suggests that program evaluation is not sufficiently influential to induce termination, either independently or in concert with other factors (deLeon, 2002;Graddy & Ye, 2008;Hwang, 2019;Volden, 2016). That may be because no evaluation is purely objective; values, emotions, and ideology shape its content, which can undermine its credibility in any deliberative process (Palumbo, 1987;Stone, 2011).…”

“…Not surprisingly, studies that conclude evaluation impacted termination tend to focus on narrow policies enacted to achieve relatively easy to measure outcomes (Behn, 1978;Turnhout, 2009). Those that find evaluation had no influence focus on broader policies where success and failure were less clearly defined, harder to measure, and disposed to contradictory interpretations (Hwang, 2019;Volden, 2016).…”

Does Program Evaluation Affect Program Termination? Insights from the Repeal of Corporate Tax Incentives for the Motion Picture Industry

Policy termination is an understudied phenomenon. The literature identifies some factors that affect its likelihood, but others' importance, especially program evaluation, remain ambiguous. For insight, this study examines the impact of independent program evaluation on the termination of tax incentives for film and television production adopted and then terminated by multiple state governments. Empirical results indicate that termination was significantly more likely after an evaluation showed the incentive's costs exceeded its benefits. Results also indicate a contagion effect. Other factors, including the incentive's age and employment in the entertainment industry, reduced termination likelihood. These findings persisted through several robustness and sensitivity checks. Although critical program evaluation does not guarantee termination, it appears to make it a more likely outcome.

“…In conversations with those on the board there was no indication of genuine concern about the presence and potential strength of the trade union in the factory (Bronkhorst, 2020). Given the labor surplus in Japan and a brief history, erratic leadership, the weak role of trade unions in factories, the directors do not seem to see local trade unions as a genuine threat to the functioning of an essentially autonomous factory (Hwang, 2021). At the same time, it would be inaccurate to claim that the average factory worker is indifferent and unconscious of the trade union.…”

Impatience with the prevailing wage system - due to its components that place too much emphasis on non-monetary rewards and too much emphasis on age and seniority - is evident among young workers. The Directors strongly felt that the growing pool of trained workers in the city did not fit into the current system of relations in the factory. These feelings are expressed both in training programs intended to instill traditional values ??and in prevailing recruitment procedures. There are no examples of other types of tension and anxiety-caused by lagging the current factory system from (to) the changes taking place. In society at large - rather than the role of women in Japanese companies. Perhaps more than any other interaction. The relationship between men and women in Japan is very different from what has developed in the West. Perhaps more than any other type of relationship, the changes caused and accelerated by the events of the last years have influenced the roles, attitudes and behavior of Japanese women. The resulting tensions were evident in factories and in the offices of large Japanese companies.
