  • Determinants and Consequences of Bureaucrat Effectiveness: Evidence
    Determinants and Consequences of Bureaucrat Effectiveness: Evidence from the Indian Administrative Service∗ Marianne Bertrand, Robin Burgess, Arunish Chawla and Guo Xu† October 21, 2015 Abstract Do bureaucrats matter? This paper studies high ranking bureaucrats in India to examine what determines their effectiveness and whether effective- ness affects state-level outcomes. Combining rich administrative data from the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) with a unique stakeholder survey on the effectiveness of IAS officers, we (i) document correlates of individual bureaucrat effectiveness, (ii) identify the extent to which rigid seniority-based promotion and exit rules affect effectiveness, and (iii) quantify the impact of this rigidity on state-level performance. Our empirical strategy exploits variation in cohort sizes and age at entry induced by the rule-based assignment of IAS officers across states as a source of differential promotion incentives. JEL classifica- tion: H11, D73, J38, M1, O20 ∗This project represents a colloboration between the Lal Bahadur Shastri National Academy of Administration (LBSNAA), the University of Chicago and London School of Economics. We are grateful to Padamvir Singh, the former Director of LBSNAA for his help with getting this project started.

Overview of Indian Revenue Service: Indian Revenue Service (IRS) is the largest Group A Central Service amongst the organised civil services in the Government of India.

  • Matching Problem of Civil Service
    MATCHING PROBLEM OF CIVIL SERVICE ASHUTOSH THAKUR Stanford GSB April 2, 2019 Abstract. Using a matching theory perspective, we analyze the extent to which exist- ing and alternative Indian Civil Service state assignment mechanisms can yield balance across three dimensions of interest: quality, embeddedness, and quota. We find that a recent change in the matching mechanism in 2008 has systematically skewed assignments by assigning relatively poor quality, outsider bureaucrats to bad state cadres: regions with external foreign conflict, states with internal political strife, and newly-formed states. This paper i) analyzes the causes of these imbalances, ii) assesses the impact of this mechanism change on state capacity, development outcomes, and bureaucratic performance, and iii) highlights trade-offs in implementing alternate mechanisms. By exploiting the exogenous change in mechanisms, we quantify the decrease in tax revenue for the bad cadres caused by the new mechanism and estimate the impact of exam rank on tax collection, allowing wel- fare analysis for counterfactual policies and mechanisms. Global balance in quality across state cadres is a unique constraint which arises when applying matching to political econ- omy settings, as the mechanism designer is a paternalistic central planner. Thus, less is left to the market compared to most canonical matching applications. On the other hand, the use of matching in political economy is also novel, and careful understanding of how different matching mechanisms address underlying correlations
