Institutional Performance and Social Capital: An Application to the Local Government Level (2005, background): “…higher budget deficits (Roubini & Sachs, 1989)—we expect the budgetary surplus to be lower when more parties take part in the ruling coalition.12 Interestingly, a similar gridlock effect may arise when the coalition partners are ideologically dispersed (Tsebelis, 1995; Volkerink & de Haan, 2001).”
A partisan model of government expenditure (2005, background): “for instance Volkerink and de Haan (2001) , arguing that there is a positive effect of the coalition size on expenditure whilst an effect on deficit is indiscernible.8”
Do political variables affect fiscal policy adjustment decisions? New empirical evidence (2007, methodology): “The rationale of this variable is that the more seats that the parties forming the government have in parliament, the stronger the government will be (see, also Volkerink and De Haan 2001 ).”
Public sector efficiency: the roles of political and budgetary institutions, fiscal capacity, and democratic participation (2008, neutral): “The following empirical literature has to a large extent focused on the impacts on fiscal policy, including taxes and public spending in addition to debt and deficits (see e.g., Crain and Muris 1995; Kontopoulos and Perotti 1999; Volkerink and De Haan 2001 ).”
The perfect finance minister: Whom to appoint as finance minister to balance the budget? (2014, background): “12For example, the case of coalition governments is considered by Haan, Sturm, and Beekhuis (1999), the case of large cabinets by Woo (2003) and Wehner (2010) while Volkerink and Haan (2001), Perotti and Kontopoulos (2002) and Schaltegger and Feld (2009) cover both aspects.”
APPLICATION OF KEITH MORROW`S FEATURES OF COMMUNICATIVE LANGUAGE TESTING TO A TEST OF “COMMUNICATION SKILLS” AT MBA LEVEL (2010, neutral): “With respect to financial depth, Woo (2003) found a negative relationship between fiscal deficits and financial depth.”
