“…See also Hirschman (1992b: 91). Later (Hirschman, 1993), he modifies this position and recognizes cases where exit and voice can work in complementary, or collaborative, ways. 18 In particular, we might expect the likelihood of exit to increase: (1) given the proliferation of alternative (substitute) states; (2) given the relative ineffectiveness of voice in the home state; (3) the larger the population of the home state; (4) the relative unimportance of citizenship issues to the individual citizen; and (5) the less developed are the cultural and institutional contexts for voicing dissatisfaction in the home state.…”

Exit, vote and sovereignty: migration, states and globalization

In this article I introduce a framework for understanding the political effects of globalization on labor. While the globalization literature is rife with references to the effects of sovereignty from global trade and capital networks, there is surprisingly little written about the effects of increased labor mobility on national sovereignty. To fill this void, I adapt Albert Hirschman's (1970) model to examine how exit might affect national voice in the context of free international migration. This adapted framework generates concrete expectations about how increased mobility affects both internal and external conceptions of sovereignty. In particular, increased mobility is shown to improve the responsiveness of governments to citizen demands. Thus, in contrast to the general consensus that labor/voters benefit least from increased globalization, I suggest that the problem facing labor is not globalization, per se. In a world characterized by relatively free mobility for other factors of production (and their owners), labor/voters appear to be handicapped by being prisoners of territory.

“…While Hirschman's (1970) exit, voice, and loyalty focused primarily on dissatisfaction with the performance of an organization, subsequent work addressed the application of exit and voice in diverse ways as the theory of household behavior (Katz, 1997, Gershuny et al, 2005Hirschman, 1978;Rogowski, 1998), trade protection (Aggarwal et al, 1987), theory of revolution (Hirschman, 1993;Pfaff &Kim 2003;Latin, 1998), globalization (Schoppa, 2006), labor organization (Schoppa, 2006;Freeman & Medoff, 1984) and education (Chubb & Moe, 1988;Witte, 2001).…”

This research develops a multivariate system framework for assessing user satisfaction of public water utility organization in a developing country and predicts quality, quantity and overall user satisfaction for policy initiatives. The model framework is applied to the data collected by Public Affairs Centre (PAC) based on the Citizen Report Card approach pioneered by it. Wald test confirms that there exits cross equation correlation across quality, quantity and overall users' satisfaction dimensions. Based on the system model, the study identifies statistically significant factors that explain users' loyalty to express satisfaction and voice to express dissatisfaction of users. Policy initiatives are proposed on key factors to reduce voice factors set so that the service provider could improve its service delivery. The system model correctly predicts 85% of satisfied customers across quality, quantity and overall satisfaction dimensions.

The official statistics count 2.7 million east-west migrants between 1949and 1961and 0.6 million between 1962and 1988(Hirschman 1993 consist of two groups: 30% illegal refugees and 70% authorized migrants, mainly older people and political prisoners (Hirschman 1993). Post-1989 east-west migrants are on average younger, unmarried and better educated than the ones who stayed and often experienced a lay-off (Hunt 2006, Fuchs-Schündeln andSchündeln 2009).…”

“…In 1989/90, the West German system has been abruptly -and previously unanticipated (Hirschman 1993) -adopted in East Germany. Therefore, the German reunification enables us to study a natural experiment and a comparison of east and west in reunified Germany allows deriving comments on the effect of political regimes on preferences and attitudes.…”

This paper studies differences in tax morale attitudes between East and West Germany using multiple recent data sets. Contrary to previous 1990s evidence, but in line with recent studies on an east-west mentality gap, we find a persistent higher tax morale in East Germany and no indication of convergence over time. Distinguishing between region of living and birth and periods of within-country migration reveals that the East Germans who stayed determine the results and that migration vanishes differences. Regional economic heterogeneity of tax revenue transfers cannot explain the results. We find a framing effect on the tax morale gap with questions phrasing tax paying as the duty of a good citizen. This result suggests no gap of tax morale with moral reasoning related to the social order and citizenry.Keywords -tax morale, German reunification, east-west differences, convergence, moral reasoning JEL classification: H26, H73 Persistence or Convergence?
