Contracting out by Urban Governments
In this article the author seeks to provide a review of the recent literature on contracting out for urban government services in the United States. The review is selective in that the author focuses on analytical frameworks of the contracting out decision, the efficiency argument, empirical efficiency, and cost studies, as well as other considerations such as accountability, equity, and tax consequences. He concludes by wondering whether the com…
Factors Important in Local Governments' Privatization Decisions
In this article, the author builds a model of local governments' decisions to contract out residential solid waste disposal services and empirically tests this model by using a new dependent variable—proportion of expenditures on a service that goes to expenses other than payroll. The important factors affecting the contracting-out decision are scale economies, nonproperty taxes, difference in private- and public-sector unionization rates, and in…

Habitability Laws and the Welfare of Indigent Tenants
A FTER three decades of intensive government efforts to improve the lot of those at the bottom of the economic heap, the poor are very much with us, and many are both ill-fed and ill-housed. The various measures taken to improve housing conditions among the poor remain to be evaluated; habitability laws are an example. These laws regulate the relationship between landlord and tenant in that they require the former to provide housing in habitable …

Habitability Laws and the Shrinkage of Substandard Rental Housing Stock
Recent years have seen a great upsurge in the number and types of laws that control the relationship between landlords and tenants. Particularly important among such laws are those which extend the warranty of habitability, often referred to as habitability laws. They award tenants new powers by substituting for the doctrine of caveat emptor the doctrine of caveat venditor. This paper examines the effects which habitability laws have had on the s…

Program Budgeting in the United Kingdom
rogram budgeting has been developing gradually in the United Kingdom. Some of its earlier roots go back to the middle 1950's, and since there has been a process of uneven, though continuous, evolutionary development. Specifically, the ideas for an annual public expenditures survey (and with it the Public Expenditure Survey CommiteePESC) can be tracked back to the middle 1950's. Another landmark was the 1961 Plowden Report on the Control of Public…

Cost Functions of an Urban Government Service
ENVIIRONMENTAL health services, especially refuse collection and sewage disposal, though relatively small in terms of outlays compared to other urban government services, have played a major role in the rapid urbanization of society. They have helped to eliminate the frightful dangers to health that can threaten densely populated communities and decimate their populations. Economists who are concerned with planning the provision and financing of …

Manufacturing Progress Functions
M OST economic cost studies have been concerned primarily with the relation of cost to rate of output. Shortrun costs are usually said to be those associated with variation in the utilization of fixed plant or other facilities, whereas longrun cost encompasses changes in the size and kind of plant. Strictly, then, the distinction is based upon the degree of adaptation of all input factors to rate of output.1 However, cost may vary because of chan…
Expenditure Implications of Metropolitan Growth and Consolidation
M ETROPOLITAN areas are growing fast and so are their problems. To make this growth smoother and fiscal problems less burdensome, the consolidation of metropolitan area governments is widely advocated on the premise that it will reduce per capita expenditures of local government services. It is argued that, just as there are economies of scale in manufacturing, average municipal costs and expenditures likewise decline as the size of the local gov…
Interindustry Relations of a Metropolitan Area
A GREAT deal of interest in metropolitan area analysis centers around the economic impact of autonomous forces upon any of the area's sectors and upon its totality. Researchers have often felt that even approximate knowledge of the structural relationship of the local economy would greatly facilitate their work. An interindustry flow table has been prepared for the St. Louis area, one of the ten largest metropolitan areas in the United States. Fr…

The urban government administrator may soon receive much greater help from science, which can provide him with informational and rational bases from which to strive for excellence. Urban interaction analysis, end-product-oriented program budgeting, effectiveness analysis, and computerized information flow systems for planning and operating purposes hold promise for better decisions. Large-scale metropolitan consolidation has turned out to be an u…
