   Beznoska, Martin / Christian von Haldenwang / Ruth Maria Schüler (2023)
   Discussion Paper, 7/2023

   We look at the development of tax benefits for households and firms for a set of 16 OECD countries. Though reporting on tax expenditures is often incomplete, even in countries with high GDP and comprehensive tax coverage, we can show that data availability improves over time.

   Vrolijk, Kasper (2023)

   What determines the use of evidence by national development agencies, and whose evidence matters most? Pablo Yanguas explores these important questions in a new IDOS Discussion Paper. He argues that institutionalisation and entrepreneurship play critical roles in centering policy making on evidence.

8. International democracy promotion in times of autocratization: from supporting to protecting democracy

   

   Leininger, Julia (2022)
   Discussion Paper, 21/2022

   Global autocratization requires a shift in democracy promotion. This paper addresses this need by developing a concept of support and protection of democracy. Coupling this with six phases of regime change, it provides first insights into the political conditions for effective democracy promotion.

   Social cohesion and the coverage of social protection schemes influenced governments’ decisions about the stringency of COVID-19 containment policies in 2020 in Africa. State containment policies were more stringent in less cohesive societies if they already had social protection schemes in place.
