“…Many authors address the concept of "governance" as being very difficult to define and quantify by help of just one indicator or a combination of more indicators that could show all the dimensions of governance (Andrews 2008;Kaufmann et al 2010;Boţa-Avram 2014). Nevertheless, the attempts of the World Bank with the help of its specialists in this field, namely Kaufmann, Kraay and Masstruzii are worth mentioning.…”

Abstract. This paper's goal is to highlight how happiness affects the level of shadow economy, by using many control variables within different types of potentially determining factors of shadow economy. Another main contribution consists in the systematic comparison between old and new European Union member states in terms of determinants of shadow economy, including happiness. Our findings consist in the fact that happier people are more likely to act honestly, thus causing a decrease in the size of shadow economy and this result is valid both for old and new European Union countries. In addition, we found that the quality of public governance and the richness of a country are associated with a lower propensity towards shadow economy for all the member states. However, the relationship between public governance and shadow economy are never significant when the happiness and richness variables vary simultaneously. Our research reveals that the shadow economy in European Union countries is explained in percent of about 62% by richness and happiness of the people. Contrary to our expectations, the fiscal pressure seems not to be a determinant for shadow economy in the European Union space.

“…The 10 topics that define the ease-of-doing business in a country are starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency 12 . Another set of findings by Bota-avram 13 shows a significant impact of “government effectiveness” and “regulatory quality” on the ease-of-doing business. It has also revealed that the “rule of law” and “control of corruption” are the two very determining factors for business growth.…”

The quality of governance is influenced by and also has far-reaching implications on the political, economic, social, and technological growth of a nation. Good governance can be a significant player in accelerating India’s manufacturing growth plan. Government effectiveness is a critical element of good governance and is a function of the nation’s political stability, macroeconomic health, and the government’s reform-related decision-making capacity to drive the manufacturing growth rate. In order to study the impact of the quality of governance and its factors on the nation’s manufacturing growth, a system dynamics (SD) approach has been adopted in the article. The meaningful simulations carried out using the SD modelling, under the current economic environment, are expected to provide insights to the policymakers and strategic planners for evolving strategies in good governance for growth.

“…When investigated in economical literature, regulatory quality is often defined as a high score on the World Bank's survey‐based governance indicators (see, e.g., Boţa‐Avram, ; Djankov, McLiesh, & Ramalho, ; for an explanation of the indicators, see Kaufmann, Kraay, & Mastruzzi, ). These indicators can be statistically correlated to measures of economic performance.…”

Expecting something special? Developing assumptions of involvement organised interests as a source of regulatory quality in the European Union

Funding information Dansk ErhvervOrganised interests play a double role in policymaking: as representatives of societal interests and as policy experts adding to regulatory quality. The former of these 2 roles has been examined over and over again, whereas the latter has almost completely evaded scholarly interest for a number of reasons. One reason is that it demands a focus on output rather than on traditional darlings such as representation, input legitimacy, or influence. Another is that it demands an interdisciplinary approach as regulatory quality-that which the involvement of organised interests seek to furnish-is a concept that includes elements from both law and political science. The question of how to design involvement of organised interests in order to support regulatory quality, however, is a question with both academic and practical relevance. Building on an empirical study, this paper attempts to spur theorising to address this relevant question. The result is 4 assumptions that describe the relationship between involvement of organised interests and regulatory quality.
