媒体关注如何塑造官僚行为?我们使用来自墨西哥联邦政府的新数据来回答这个问题。我们首先开发了一个新的指标,以15万篇与22个墨西哥政府部门和机构有关的新闻文章为基础,对媒体关注度的提高进行了定性分类。然后,我们使用10年期间约50万次政府信息请求的行政数据及其相关响应来评估政府的响应能力。一个小组固定效应的方法演示了媒体关注的影响量传出每周的反应,而第二种方法发现的“队列”的信息请求已经提交时,异常的媒体关注开始的影响。在这些实证方法一致,我们发现,媒体的关注塑造官僚行为。积极或中立的注意力与反应能力降低有关,而消极注意力的影响各不相同,注意政府的失败导致反应能力增加,但注意腐败导致反应能力降低。这些模式与声誉管理、披露威胁和工作量负担的机制一致,但与信用索赔或责任回避的机制不一致。
How does media attention shape bureaucratic behavior? We answer this question using novel data from the Mexican federal government. We first develop a new indicator for periods of anomalously heightened media attention, based on 150,000 news articles pertaining to 22 Mexican government ministries and agencies, and qualitatively categorize their themes. We then evaluate government responsiveness using administrative data on roughly 500,000 requests for government information over a 10-year period, with their associated responses. A panel fixed-effects approach demonstrates effects of media attention on the volume of outgoing weekly responses, while a second approach finds effects on the “queue” of information requests already filed when anomalous media attention begins. Consistent across these empirical approaches, we find that media attention shapes bureaucratic behavior. Positive or neutral attention is associated with reduced responsiveness, while the effects of negative attention vary, with attention to governmentfailuresleading to increased responsiveness but attention tocorruptionleading to reduced responsiveness. These patterns are consistent with mechanisms of reputation management, disclosure threat, and workload burden, but inconsistent with mechanisms of credit claiming or blame avoidance.
