“…The available workforce has been mentioned as a positive factor to increase the judicial performance of courts (Chaparro & Jiménez, 1996;Gomes, Guimaraes, & Akutsu, 2016;Mitsopoulos & Pelagidis, 2007;Schneider, 2005). For instance, Chaparro and Jiménez (1996) found that a larger administrative workforce provides better working conditions for judges, while Mitsopoulos and Pelagidis (2007) found that good administrative support could help to speed the work of the courts.…”

“…For instance, Chaparro and Jiménez (1996) found that a larger administrative workforce provides better working conditions for judges, while Mitsopoulos and Pelagidis (2007) found that good administrative support could help to speed the work of the courts. In the Brazilian Judiciary, Gomes, Guimaraes, and Akutsu (2016) used longitudinal data (2003to 2012 for all state courts to investigate the impact of hiring new judges and administrative assistants on court performance.…”

“…Applied to our court-level data, the essence of our statistical test is to examine if court-year observations for 26 which the number of case dispositions is large relative to the regression-estimated benchmark differ systematically in terms of the number of appealed cases (see, e.g., Mitsopoulos andPelagidis 2007, 2010;Coviello et al 2014) from the court-year observations for which the number of case dispositions is small relative to the regression-estimated benchmark. The number of appealed cases proxies for the quality of judicial decision-making since lower court judges prefer to avoid reversals by appellate courts (see, e.g., Stephenson 2009); hence, they prefer to avoid having their decisions appealed.…”

“…First, we add to the growing empirical law and economics literature on the activity of courts. Within this literature, relatively few studies have been able to draw on original court-based data from judicial systems outside of the U.S. or the common law world (see, e.g., Beenstock and Haitovsky 2004, Mitsopoulos and Pelagidis 2007, Rosales-Lopez 2008, Schneider 2005Di Vita 2012aElbialy and GarciaRubio 2011, Finocchario Castro and Guccio 2014, Santos and Amado 2014, Falavigna et al 2015. Our analysis of Bulgarian courts contributes to the literature by shedding light on the functioning of the judicial system in the understudied post-socialist region.…”

“…For example Mitsopoulos and Pelagidis (2007) in their study of Greek courts' timeliness applied the 'number of total employees that work in any given year for the Ministry of Justice' instead of number of judges in their analysis (p. 224). Barrère et al (2001) estimated sophisticated stochastic frontier production functions 16 for civil and criminal cases in French first-instance courts.…”
