World Bank evaluations show that recipient performance varies substantially between different projects. Extant research has focused on country-level variables when explaining these variations. This article goes beyond country-level explanations and highlights the role of World Bank staff. We extend established arguments in the literature on compliance with the demands of International Organizations (IOs) and hypothesize that IO staff can shape recipient performance in three ways. First, recipient performance may be influenced by the quality of IO staff monitoring and supervision. Second, the leniency and stringency with which IO staff apply the aid agreement could improve recipient performance. Third, recipient performance may depend on whether IO staff can identify and mobilize supportive interlocutors through their networks in the recipient country. We test these arguments by linking a novel database on the tenure of World Bank task team leaders to projects evaluated between 1986 and 2020. The findings are consistent with the expectation that World Bank staff play an important role, but only in investment projects. There is substantial evidence that World Bank staff supervisory ability and country experience are linked to recipient performance in those projects. Less consistent evidence indicates that leniency could matter. These findings imply that World Bank staff play an important role in facilitating implementation of investment projects.
We present general existence and uniqueness results for marked models with pair interactions, exemplified through Gibbs point processes on path space.
More precisely, we study a class of infinite-dimensional diffusions under Gibbsian interactions, in the context of marked point configurations: the starting points belong to R-d, and the marks are the paths of Langevin diffusions.
We use the entropy method to prove existence of an infinite-volume Gibbs point process and use cluster expansion tools to provide an explicit activity domain in which uniqueness holds.
Статья посвящена общим вопросам регулирования программ комплаенса в Германии и их влиянию на уголовную и административную ответственность. Авторы начинают с общего обзора практики регулирования комплаенса в Германии и внедрения его в жизнь. Далее ими раскрывается значимость программ комплаенса для избежания уголовной ответственности в бизнес-среде. Особое внимание уделяется такому явлению, как несение уголовной ответственности уже вследствие внедрения программ комплаенса самого по себе. Авторы называют это явление самовоспроизводимым риском ответственности, возникающим ввиду чрезмерно детального регулирования допустимого и запрещенного поведения. Статья завершается обзором административной ответственности юридических лиц за нарушения, связанные с комплаенс-сферой.
