The bureaucracy trap Andina-Díaz, Ascensión Feri, Francesco Meléndez-Jiménez, Miguel Ángel Política - Reforma We study the incentives of political parties to institute reforms that improve bureaucratic quality and increase the ability of governments to implement policy change. We consider a context of dynamic elections where current rigidities do not permit large changes in policies. We show that reforms in which a sufficient share of benefits are experienced late in time will never be implemented if parties are patient enough. 2024-02-01T13:12:46Z 2024-02-01T13:12:46Z 2023-07-30 journal article Ascensión Andina-Díaz, Francesco Feri, Miguel A.
