社会问责机构是民主改革者努力通过利用公民参与的力量来改善福祉的最前沿。本文基于最近的研究，确定了参与式预算（PB）和幸福感之间的积极关系。本文是第一项大型N研究，旨在确定PB计划设计的具体规则与福祉之间的关系。巴西114个城市从2009年到2016年的PB方案的独特数据集的构建，以评估是否PB内部机制解释当地婴儿死亡率的变化-与福祉的结果。假设进行测试，对应于公民参与，审议和嵌入在地方机构的范围。研究发现，当PB方案扩大参与，扩大审议并将新机构嵌入正在进行的决策场所时，它们与较低的婴儿死亡率有关。研究结果为设计PB方案和其他社会问责机构提供了一个框架，以最大限度地发挥影响。
Social accountability institutions are at the forefront of democratic reformers’ efforts to improve well‐being by harnessing the power of citizen participation. This article builds on recent research identifying a positive relationship between participatory budgeting (PB) and well‐being. The article is the first large‐N study to identify relationships between specific rules of PB programme design and well‐being. A unique dataset of 114 Brazilian municipalities with PB programmes from 2009 to 2016 is constructed to evaluate whether internal mechanisms within PB explain variation in local infant mortality rates – an outcome associated with wellbeing. Hypotheses are tested that correspond to citizen participation, the scope of deliberation and embeddedness within local institutions. It is found that PB programmes are associated with lower infant mortality rates when they broaden participation, expand deliberation and embed the new institutions in ongoing policy‐making venues. The results offer a framework for designing PB programmes and other social accountability institutions to maximise impact.
