TLDR
In this article, the authors examined the patterns and effects of departmental oversight across 28 ministries in Estonia, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia in relation to transposition planning, legal review and monitoring of deadlines.Abstract:
The extent to which member states transpose EU directives in a timely fashion is often argued to be strongly associated with the general effectiveness of national bureaucracies. But what kind of institutional solutions ensure better performance? This paper examines the patterns and effects of departmental oversight across 28 ministries in Estonia, Hungary, Poland and Slovenia. In mapping the strength of oversight, it relies on around 90 structured interviews regarding the rules-in-use on transposition planning, legal review and monitoring of deadlines. The analysis of the impact of departmental oversight is based on an original dataset of over 300 directives with transposition deadlines between January 2005 and December 2008.read more

Contraceptive confidence and timing of first birth in Moldova
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the contraceptive confidence hypothesis to incorporate the role of abortion, arguing that it acts as a substitute for contraception in the study context, and show that women with high contraceptive confidence have a higher cumulative hazard of first birth 36' months following marriage (0.88 -0.87 to 0.89) compared with women with low contraceptive confidence (traditional method users, cumulative hazard: 0.85 - 0.84-0.85)).
