Delighted that the paper “Compliance spending aversion: An unintended consequence of charity regulation” with @lklades has now found a home in @Journal_BPA: doi.org/10.30636/jbpa.…

New in JBPA: Researchers from @ucddublin show that one of the unintended consequences of nonprofit regulation is that it increases administrative costs. In turn, donors penalize the charities for the perceived administrative bloat. Read about it here: journal-bpa.org/index.php/jbpa…

You can read some of the work in @Journal_BPA, and another paper will soon be available in @journal_pa journal-bpa.org/index.php/jbpa…

Just a reminder that we at @Journal_BPA welcome well-designed research baring null results. twitter.com/SteveStuWill/s…

Proud to have worked with @overtonmichael7 to develop this roundtable in Administrative Informatics, an emerging PA-centric data science subfield focused on the operational needs of agencies rather than policy analysis. Thank you to all the authors that contributed!

Very excited to be part of this @Journal_BPA Roundtable! I had lots of fun writing about the importance of communication for data science applications in PA. Thanks for putting this together @overtonmichael7 @profstevek Check out the full roundtable here journal-bpa.org/index.php/jbpa…

Thrilled to be part of the roundtable on administrative informatics in @Journal_BPA. My contribution was perhaps not surprisingly on..."Using Data in Government: Advancing Policy Frameworks to Support Operational Decision-Making" #OpenAccess #EvidenceAct

And an incisive research article on the effects of ambiguous messaging during the COVID-19 crisis: journal-bpa.org/index.php/jbpa… (6/6)

Not to mention an excellent roundtable discussion on the conceptual foundations of "administrative informatics" with a slew of all-star contributors: journal-bpa.org/index.php/jbpa… (5/6)

Have you checked out our current issue lately? Maybe you should! (1/6) journal-bpa.org/index.php/jbpa…

The authors argue that to truly understand public administration, we need to study the social interactions that shape it. The ABCS model provides a framework for exploring these connections and advancing our understanding of governance.

Social interactions matter in public administration! A new article argues researchers should study not only individuals but also the links between affect, behavior, cognition, and social interaction. doi.org/10.30636/jbpa.…

As we continue to navigate the COVID-19 and other public health issues, it's crucial for public officials to consider the best approaches to behavioral change. Our recent blog post explores this in relation to Dewies et al. (2022)'s recent BPA article: behavioralpa.org/behavioral-cha…

These tweets were written by ChatGPT. How'd it do?

Ultimately, the successful incorporation of AI into behavioral public administration will require a balance between innovation, ethics, and human judgment. @PUB_INTEGRITY

AI is transforming the field of public administration, including in the realm of behavior analysis.
