Abstract
Does globalization increases or decreases the size of government ("compensation" versus "efficiency" hypothesis)? The debate is re-visited with innovative bureaucracy and globalization indicators using panel data for the unexplored period 2000-2016. Robust evidence suggests that global competition reduces public employment.
