“…Rather, the state must be invited in by the local government via the passage of a local ordinance or a supermajority vote of the governing body respectively. state government officials little incentive to assume responsibility for insolvent local governments (Nowlan, Gove, & Winkel, 2010). Thus, many of the governments in cells A may be destined to limp along forever from one fiscal crisis to the next.…”

Does Bankruptcy Really Matter? The Solvency of Municipal Governments in the Chicago Metropolitan Region

As specified by Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, local governments that are granted bankruptcy protection must be insolvent, but not all insolvent local governments file for bankruptcy. Almost half of the local governments in the US are not permitted by state law to file for bankruptcy, and many governments with authorization to file may not pursue it because its outcomes are uncertain and often undesirable for both the government and creditors. Thus, one should study insolvent governments more generally rather than only bankrupt governments to obtain an accurate and complete understanding of the fiscal crises that produce bankruptcies. This paper examines different dimensions of solvency for 265 municipal governments in suburban Chicago from 1998 to 2010 to determine the relationship between the dimensions and the likelihood of insolvency among these governments. We find that these indices are related but there is also much variation in the joint distributions of the dimensions, suggesting that Chapter 9 as currently structured has critical flaws in its narrow definition of solvency. We use this variation to deduce the likely causes of poor financial condition in the governments at the extremes of the joint distributions and suggest future avenues of study. A version of this paper was presented at the annual conference of the Association for Budgeting and Financial Management, Washington, DC, October 3–5, 2013.

“…Illinois is chosen for two reasons: first, Illinois is often considered a microcosm of the nation, including the dominance of individualism within it (Elazar, 1970 ; Dran et al, 1991 ). However, because of the physiographic divisions of the state, it combines within its boundaries much of the cultural, social, economic, historic, and geographic diversity of the USA (Elazar, 1970 ; Dran et al, 1991 ; Nowlan et al, 2010 ).…”

How does the organizational culture of local governments influence the type and extent of procedural justice in environmental policy processes? Using the culture theory developed by Mary Douglas and others, this research seeks to bring a new conception and new measures of organizational culture to the study of policy making by local governments. To contribute to the development of the conceptualization and measurement of procedural justice in the environmental policy processes of those governments, item response theory (IRT) graded response model (GRM) is used to show variations in difficulties and frequencies of adopting distinctive public participation strategies for improving procedural justice across local governments. In this study, original survey data is collected from Illinois municipalities and a finding is suggestive of cultural variables explaining the two dimensions of procedural justice, equal and authentic public participation, while other variables can, at best, explain only the equal public participation. Furthermore, as hypothesized, egalitarianism increases both equal and authentic public participation, individualism increases equal public participation, and fatalism decreases both.

“…For them imparting knowledge to the students is a second priority. These reasons have made private universities a lucrative business and it is therefore essential that branding of higher education and image of universities are made so that youth can be attracted and motivated for higher learning (Nowlan, 2010). Shen and Ahmad (2022) are of the opinion that brand image has a strong influence on product evaluation.…”

The objective of the study was to assess the importance of corporate identity and brand image for private universities of Pakistan. We wanted to find out the factors of corporate identity for a university, factors of branding for a university and how branding can help a university in building its image. A primary survey was done using a predesigned close ended questionnaire. The population was undergraduate and graduate students of private universities of Karachi. Non-probability convenient sampling was done for the survey. The respondents were a total of 316 undergraduate and graduate students from private universities of Karachi. The result was analyzed by using SPSS software application. The findings focused on key factors of university branding to further increase their corporate identity and image. The study is significant because such a study has never been done in Pakistan on these parameters. The findings of the study will help private universities of Pakistan to take a course of direction in promoting their corporate identity and brand image. It was also found that the factors of corporate identify do have an impact on factors of university brand image. Brand image of a university influences the students for admission in a particular university. This research is considered a novel one because it will help the private university management to run their universities based on the findings of this study. Some study may also be done for public universities. It is also recommended that some comparative study be done with public and private universities for admission decision of the new students
