    Abstract

    The aim of this paper is to explore the connection between the decline of the presence of encompassing civil society organizations (CSOs) in the policy-making process and the composition of public expenditure in advanced economies. Empirical estimates on a panel of 41 countries for the period 1979-2019 show that the lack of involvement of CSOs in the policy-making process is associated to public policies whose benefits are limited to specific sets of constituencies while the involvement of CSOs is associated to public policies whose benefits accrue to a large fraction of the society. We argue that the decline of the intermediate structures observed in the last decades has altered the composition of public expenditure towards a less desirable direction for the societies.
