9/ 💶 Adam Gendźwiłł, Paweł Swianiewicz & Dawid Sześciło find partisan bias in Polish grant allocation at the local level. Affiliation with the governing party at the national level increased funding. The partisan bias even affects municipalities ruled by independents.

7/ 💶 Martin Gross, Dominic Nyhuis, Sebastian Block & Jan Velimsky investigate issue attention in German municipal councils. Based on an analysis of parliamentary questions they demonstrate that issue salience is affected by financial and institutional constraints.
