    RICE INITIATIVE for the RISE STUDY of ECONOMICS RISE Working Paper 15-003 "Efficiency of Flexible Budgetary Institutions (revised)" by T. Renee Bowen, Ying Chen, Hülya Eraslan, and Jan Zapal Department of Economics Baker Hall, MS22 6100 Main Street, Houston, Texas 77005 https://economics.rice.edu Efficiency of Flexible Budgetary Institutions ∗ T. Renee Boweny Ying Chenz H¨ulya Eraslanx Jan Z´apal{ June 18, 2015 Abstract Which budgetary institutions result in efficient provision of public goods? We an- alyze a model with two parties bargaining over the allocation to a public good each period. Parties place different values on the public good, and these values may change over time. We focus on budgetary institutions that determine the rules governing feasible allocations to mandatory and discretionary spending programs. Mandatory spending is enacted by law and remains in effect until changed, and thus induces an endogenous status quo, whereas discretionary spending is a periodic appropriation that is not allocated if no new agreement is reached. We show that discretionary only and mandatory only institutions typically lead to dynamic inefficiency and that mandatory only institutions can even lead to static inefficiency. By introducing appropriate flexi- bility in mandatory programs, we obtain static and dynamic efficiency. An endogenous choice of mandatory and discretionary programs, sunset provisions and state-contingent mandatory programs can provide this flexibility in increasingly complex environments.

Graduated with Honors Doctoral thesis title MNCs, NTBs, and New Protectionism: Industrial Protection Coalitions in an Era of Global Capital supervisors William R. Clark (TAMU), Andrew M. Kerner (UM), Iain G. Osgood (UM) description The dissertation explains the conditional rise of non-tari protections as taris declined in postwar global economy.The core claim is that global capital ows created political incentives which changed the politics of protectionism in many countries. I advance a new typology of “market access barriers”, an improvement over the existing tari/NTM framing which claries, both empirically and theoretically, the eect of trade-distorting policies. From this, I develop a model of industrial coalitional politics in support of or opposition to dierent policy options. I present empirical support for hypothesized divergence across industries and countries in the nature of protection using a new dataset developed from the UNCTAD TRAINS database and other sources.
