    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Bureaucrats use federal paperwork to shift agency costs to the private sector, increasing their own benefits. Compensating the private sector for this burden would reduce agency size and output.

    Area of Science:

    • Public Administration
    • Bureaucratic Theory
    • Government Regulation

    Background:

    • Paperwork is a significant aspect of bureaucratic behavior.
    • The federal government's paperwork requirements impose a substantial burden on the private sector.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore paperwork as an inherent characteristic of bureaucratic behavior.
    • To analyze the magnitude and scope of the federal government paperwork burden on the private sector.
    • To develop a theoretical model of bureaucratic behavior concerning paperwork.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a theoretical model of bureaucratic behavior.
    • Analysis of the incentives for bureaucrats to use paperwork.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Bureaucrats utilize paperwork to transfer agency operational costs to the private sector.
    • This practice allows bureaucrats to enhance their personal perquisites of office.
    • The model indicates that compensating the private sector for the paperwork burden would lead to reduced agency employment and output.

    Conclusions:

    • Paperwork serves as a strategic tool for bureaucrats to maximize personal gains at the expense of the private sector.
    • Addressing the paperwork burden through compensation could lead to more efficient government agency operations.
