This article contributes to the growing body of research on administrative burdens by providing a theoretically- and empirically-driven typology of governments’ burden reduction strategies. Despite the mounting interest in burden reduction, the literature still lacks a typology for systematically identifying and classifying such strategies. The article identifies three analytical dimensions of burden reduction: distributive (who bears the burden), intensiveness (what the level of burden is), and relational (how burden is experienced in bureaucratic encounters). Based on these dimensions, and drawing on a systematic analysis of the case of social security in Israel, we identify, define and characterize seven distinct strategies of burden reduction: shifting, sharing, discarding, simplifying, expediting, communicating, and respecting. The article concludes with a discussion of these strategies, their applicability, practical implications, and directions for the research agenda on burden reduction.

行政减负策略的类型：谁、什么以及如何

本文通过提供理论和实证驱动的政府减负策略类型学，为日益增长的行政负担研究做出了贡献。尽管人们对减轻负担的兴趣日益浓厚，但文献仍然缺乏系统地识别和分类此类策略的类型学。文章确定了减轻负担的三个分析维度：分配性（谁承担负担）、密集性（负担程度）和关系性（在官僚冲突中如何体验负担）。基于这些维度，并借鉴对以色列社会保障案例的系统分析，我们确定、定义和描述了七种不同的减负策略：转移、共享、放弃、简化、加速、沟通和尊重。本文最后讨论了这些策略、其适用性、实际影响以及减负研究议程的方向。
