英文文献作者：Andrew Beath,Fotini Christia,Ruben Enikolopov
英文文献摘要：
Direct democracy is designed to better align policy outcomes with citizen preferences. Using a randomized field experiment in 250 villages across Afghanistan, we compare outcomes of the selection of village-level development projects through secret-ballot referenda and through consultation meetings. We find that elites exert more influence over resource allocation decisions in consultation meetings as compared with referenda. Referenda also improve public satisfaction. The results indicate that the use of direct democracy in public resource allocation mitigates elite capture and results in more legitimate outcomes than those produced by less representative consultative processes.
直接民主旨在更好地将政策结果与公民偏好结合起来。通过在阿富汗250个村庄进行的随机田间试验，我们比较了通过无记名投票和协商会议选择村级发展项目的结果。我们发现，与公民投票相比，精英在协商会议中对资源配置决策具有更大的影响力。公投也提高了公众的满意度。结果表明，在公共资源配置中使用直接民主可以减轻精英俘获，并比那些不那么具有代表性的协商过程产生更多的合法结果。
