Specific objectives of the envisaged workshop are:

  1. To present (quasi-)experimental works that study the empirical determinants and consequences of citizens’ attitudes and behaviors towards public services and public administration more broadly;
  1. To build a community of public administration scholars that use experimental methods to study citizen attitudes and behaviors towards government;
  1. To stimulate collaborations for setting-up cross-national experiments.

We invite paper contributions that use (quasi-)experimental research designs to study any aspect of citizens’ attitudes and/or behaviors towards public administration, but please note that substantive contributions should be theory-driven. Also, methodological contributions, research designs of envisaged experiments, and meta analyses of experimental evidence are welcomed.

The organisers will work towards identifying suitable publication outlets for presented papers. A keynote speech will be delivered by Gregg G. Van Ryzin (Rutgers University).
