“…Local governments are faced with a variety of challenges, such as changes in their demographics, new demands in public service provision, and the need to renovate or modernize their existing infrastructure (Maher et al, 2020;McDonald, 2018;Zhang et al, 2020). To finance their expenditure needs on capital and infrastructure projects, local governments have historically relied on bonds (Denison, 2012).…”

In this paper, we examine the impact of the charter form of government on the borrowing costs of local governments. A substantial amount of research has been undertaken to date in which scholars have investigated the determinants of borrowing costs for governments.However, little research has been conducted hitherto on the impact that the particular form of government -a key issuer characteristic -has on determining its specific borrowing costs. We hypothesized that a chartered government is more likely to be able to reduce its borrowing costs when it is benefiting from the municipal bond market; a government's flexibility and professionalism is desirable. We tested this hypothesis by using city and county government bond data from California that dates from 2003 to 2015. In our findings, we show that the financial flexibility that is afforded by a charter helps local governments to improve their credit ratings and to lower their borrowing costs.

“…Therefore, many studies focus on exploring what factors motivate citizens’ coproducing efforts. Specifically, individuals’ socioeconomic status, political efficacy, satisfaction with government performance, issue-specific knowledge, and social capital are found to influence individuals’ coproducing behaviors (Bovaird et al, 2015; Loeffler & Bovaird, 2016; Zhang et al, 2020).…”

“…The existing coproduction literature sheds new light on what factors motivate some citizens to engage in public goods and service production more than others. These works find that several institutional characteristics and individual factors encourage citizens to get involved in public service coproduction (Riccucci et al, 2015; Voorberg et al, 2014; Zhang et al, 2020). However, we want to know more about coproduction’s impacts on public service, especially beyond the context of advanced industrialized countries with established democracies.…”

The recent research on citizen participation in the provision of public services represented by coproduction has become a hot topic in public management. Coproduction studies propose that citizens can directly or indirectly participate in the process of public services to help improve the quality and legitimacy of public services. Very little, however, has been written in the existing coproduction literature on the outcome of public services provision. Based on the “One-Hundred Villages” Survey in 2020, this article analyzes and evaluates the impact of coproduction on the perceived outcome of public service in rural China. A series of statistical analysis results show that both co-planning and co-delivery have significant and positive impacts on how one views the outcome of rural public service provision. This research provides new evidence in rural China that citizen participation plays a crucial role in the state-led “New Socialist Countryside” campaign.

“…In recent years, the concept of co-production has gradually changed from citizens to communities and non-profit organisations (Nabatchi et al, 2017;Brudney, 2020). Co-production not only improves citizens' participation in urban governance but also meets citizens' differentiated needs for urban development (Anand & Gaur, 2019;Voorberg et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2020).…”

Abundant natural resources are the basis of urbanisation and industrialisation. Citizens are the key factor in promoting a sustainable supply of natural resources and the high-quality development of urban areas. This study focuses on the co-production behaviours of citizens regarding urban natural resource assets in the age of big data, and uses the latent Dirichlet allocation algorithm and the stepwise regression analysis method to evaluate citizens’ experiences and feelings related to the urban capitalisation of natural resources. Results show that, firstly, the machine learning algorithm based on natural language processing can effectively identify and deal with the demands of urban natural resource assets. Secondly, in the experience of urban natural resources, citizens pay more attention to the combination of history, culture, infrastructure and natural landscape. Unique natural resource can enhance citizens’ sense of participation. Finally, the scenery, entertainment and quality and value of urban natural resources are the influencing factors of citizens’ satisfaction.
