Abstract

Multilevel governance offers different settings to study executive decision-making and delegation. Associations of municipalities (AoMs), which are collaborative partnerships, are understudied arrangements in the delegation literature. Using a survey experiment with 240 Colombian mayors, this research explores whether issue specificity and issue salience shift preferences for delegating funding appropriations. Mayors overall prefer not to delegate and shifts in issue salience do not affect these preferences. Yet, mayors are less likely to delegate to regional AoMs when facing a policy-specific scenario. Moreover, this effect is contingent upon municipal population due to the relevance of cognitive shortcuts in more complex scenarios.
