Government fiscal decentralization and haze and carbon reduction: Evidence from the fiscal Province-Managing-County reform.

Government governance reform is not only a vital motivation for high economic quality but also an important factor in stimulating the government's environmental governance responsibility. The article empirically examines the fiscal Province-Managing-County (PMC) pilot reform on the synergic governance of haze and carbon reduction and its mechanism. The results show that the policy helps to realize the synergic governance of haze and carbon reduction, and the reform of fiscal Province-Managing-County promotes regional haze and carbon reduction mainly through structural effect, innovation effect, and fiscal expenditure responsibility effect. The heterogeneity analysis shows that the policy has an asymmetric effect on haze and carbon reduction under different administrative structures, economic structures and levels of government intervention. Further analysis shows a policy linkage effect between this policy and the Green Fiscal Policy. The policy has the situation of blood-sucking in the provincial capital city and leads to an increase in financial funds. The above results prove that the policy can help to realize haze and carbon reduction and provide practical ideas for the further expansion of the policy. At the same time, it provides the direction for the local government to realize the double-carbon goal.

Gestão fiscal, eficiência da gestão pública e desenvolvimento socioeconômico dos municípios cearenses / Gestión fiscal, eficiencia de la gestión pública y desarrollo socioeconómico de los municipios del estado de Ceará / Fiscal management, public management efficiency and socioeconomic development of Ceará municipalities

Resumo A administração pública tem o papel na sociedade de gerenciar o patrimônio público de modo a proporcionar melhores níveis de bem-estar social, promovendo maior desenvolvimento socioeconômico. A utilização eficiente dos recursos públicos apresenta-se como um princípio básico para que a gestão pública alcance seus objetivos.

Nesse contexto, este artigo analisa os efeitos da gestão fiscal e da eficiência da gestão pública no desenvolvimento socioeconômico municipal. Utilizou-se a análise envoltória de dados (data envelopment analysis - DEA) e regressão linear para analisar os 184 municípios cearenses, no período de 2007 a 2013. Os resultados indicam que a gestão fiscal e a eficiência da gestão pública influenciam positivamente o desenvolvimento socioeconômico municipal, sinalizando que os gestores públicos devem melhorar a eficiência de sua gestão e observar as regras de controle fiscal.

Resumen La administración pública tiene la función en la sociedad de gestionar el patrimonio público para proporcionar mejores niveles de bienestar social, promoviendo un mayor desarrollo socioeconómico. La utilización eficiente de los recursos públicos se presenta como un principio básico para que la gestión pública alcance sus objetivos.

Abstract The role of public administration in society is to manage public assets to provide better social welfare, promoting greater socioeconomic development. The efficient use of public resources is a basic principle for public management to fulfill this role. In addition, the transparency and control offered by fiscal management are factors that optimize results in the public sector, since they lead public managers to apply best managerial practices. In this context, this work analyzes the effects of fiscal management and public management efficiency on municipal socioeconomic development. Data from the 184 municipalities in the Brazilian state of Ceará, from 2007 to 2013, are analyzed using DEA and linear regression. The results indicate that fiscal management and public management efficiency positively influence municipal socioeconomic development, which indicates that public managers should seek better management efficiency and follow rules of fiscal control.

Causalidade de Granger do índice de desenvolvimento socioeconômico na gestão fiscal dos municípios brasileiros / Causalidad de Granger del índice de desarrollo socioeconómico en la gestión fiscal de los municipios brasileños / Granger causality of the socioeconomic development indicator on fiscal management of Brazilian municipalities

Resumo A relação entre gestão fiscal e desenvolvimento tem sido objeto de muitos estudos aplicados, mas ainda são incipientes os trabalhos que investigam a relação de causalidade entre eles. Partindo da hipótese de que a eficiência na gestão fiscal resultaria em melhores indicadores socioeconômicos municipais, o objetivo desta pesquisa consistiu em investigar a relação entre gestão fiscal e desenvolvimento em 4.317 municípios brasileiros, no período de 2006 a 2013. Adotou-se o modelo de regressão com dados em painel e aplicação de causalidade de Granger. Os resultados indicaram a inexistência de relação de causalidade entre gestão fiscal e desenvolvimento e confirmou a relação de causalidade do desenvolvimento para a gestão fiscal, demonstrando que nem sempre a gestão fiscal eficiente sinaliza o uso eficiente dos recursos públicos para promover o desenvolvimento.

Resumen La relación entre la gestión fiscal y el desarrollo ha sido objeto de muchos estudios aplicados, pero todavía son incipientes estudios que investigan la relación causal entre ellos. Partiendo de la hipótesis de que la eficiencia en la gestión fiscal resultaría en los mejores indicadores socioeconómicos municipales, el objetivo de este estudio fue investigar la relación entre la gestión fiscal y el desarrollo en 4.317 municipios brasileños de 2006 a 2013. Se adoptó el modelo de regresión con datos de panel y la aplicación de causalidad de Granger. Los resultados indicaron que no existe una relación causal entre la administración fiscal y el desarrollo y confirmó la relación de causalidad del desarrollo para la gestión fiscal, lo que demuestra que la administración fiscal no siempre eficiente señala el uso eficiente de los recursos públicos para promover el desarrollo.

Abstract The relationship between fiscal management and development has been the subject of many applied studies, but there are still incipient studies investigating the causal relationship between them. Based on the hypothesis that efficiency in fiscal management would result in better municipal socioeconomic indicators, the objective of this work was to investigate the relationship between fiscal management and development in 4,317 Brazilian municipalities in the period from 2006 to 2013 The regression model was used with panel data and Granger's causality application. The results indicated that there is no causal relationship between fiscal management and development, It was also verified the causal relationship of development to fiscal management, demonstrating that efficient fiscal management does not always signal the efficient use of public resources to promote development.

Psychiatric Management, Administration, and Leadership: a Continuum or Distinct Concepts?

To clarify the relationship between the concepts of management, administration, and leadership in psychiatry. The authors provide a review of the conceptual evolution of administrative psychiatry and develop operational definitions of these three domains. Based upon their experiences, they discuss relevant core competencies and personal attributes. The authors found that the terms psychiatric management, psychiatric administration, and psychiatric leadership are often used interchangeably, yet they each have a different and distinct focus. Additionally, some in the field consider the concepts overlapping, existing on a continuum, while others draw distinct conceptual boundaries between these terms. Psychiatrists in leadership positions function in all three domains. While these are distinct concepts, the authors recommend that administrative psychiatrists integrate all three in their everyday work. The authors suggest the distinctions among these concepts should inform training and identify core competencies related to these distinctions. Mentoring should focus on the practical integration of the concepts of management, administration, and leadership in administrative psychiatry. The authors present a cohesive framework for future development of a curriculum for education and research.
