Rules of Evidence, Efficiency Claims, and Local Government Amalgamation
Scholars have expressed frustration that public policy formulation sometimes proceeds with optimism that lies in stark contrast to the evaluation literature. We present theoretical insights from the rules of evidence that cast greater light on why this might be so. We also conduct novel sophisticated empirical analysis – based on a natural experiment in New South Wales, Australia – to better measure the efficiency outcomes at the heart of most am…
The 15-Minute City in Porto, Portugal
The concept of the 15-Minute City aims to enhance urban accessibility by ensuring that essential services are within a short walking distance. This study evaluates the accessibility of Porto, Portugal, particularly for the elderly, by assessing urban density, permeability, and walkability, with a specific focus on crossings and ramps. A five-step methodology was employed, including spatial analysis using QGIS and Place Syntax Tool, proximity asse…
A Critical Analysis of Decentralizing the Portuguese Public Healthcare Provision Services
The Portuguese health system has a universal, public, general National Health Service (NHS), tending towards free healthcare access. Created in 1979, this delivery model developed from the integration and complementarity between the different response levels (primary, hospital, continuing, and palliative care). However, over the last 40 years, the initially centralized system underwent a decentralization process with the creation of Regional Heal…
Ageing as a determinant of local government performance
The age structure of asociety has long been ahot topic in public administration, including in local government, where such discussion should, at the most obvious level, promote policies related to active ageing and the protection of the elderly. Ageing is asignificant issue in Portugal, putting pressure on local and central governments. Whether the population's aging is adeterminant of local government's overall performance is aquestion that find…

Economies of scope in Portuguese local government using an augmented Hicks–Moorsteen approach
Whereas a substantial empirical literature has investigated scale economies in local government, by contrast little effort has been directed at economies of scope. To address this gap in the literature, this paper empirically examines economies of scope in 308 Portuguese local governments and the extent to which it explains differential council performance. We employ a new methodology using geometric distance functions, an augmented Hicks–Moorste…
