Water Losses and Environmental Efficiency in Urban Water Supply Systems
Water losses are a critical environmental and operational challenge, especially in regions exposed to increasing water stress. This study assesses the environmental productivity of municipal water supply services in Spain and Portugal during the period 2014–2022, explicitly treating losses as an undesirable output. Using the Metafrontier Malmquist–Luenberger index, dynamic changes in productivity are analyzed and broken down into changes in effic…
Neural Bases of Sector Bias in Perceptions of Public Versus Private-Sector Service Performance
Governments, political parties and public institutions regularly design and launch communication campaigns emphasising their successes, fostering participation in democratic acts, promoting the use of public services and seeking to boost electoral support. Accordingly, researchers in the fields of politics and public administration have long sought to enhance our understanding of how individuals perceive the performance of services offered by the…
Contracting Out and Social Services
The aim of this study was to conduct an analysis of the elements of public finances that favor the contracting out of social services, together with political and socioeconomic issues. The results obtained reflect the existence of significant differences in this respect according to the size of the municipal population, and show that while most indicators of a worsening financial condition, together with the neighborhood effect and a conservative…
Dynamic-opportunistic behaviour in local government contracting-out decisions during the electoral cycle
A major question for public managers is whether municipal services should be rendered in-house or contracted out. In view of the negative perceptions often aroused by contracting out, this political decision might be framed within a theoretical model that we term ‘dynamic-opportunistic behaviour’. According to this model, the probability of municipal services being contracted out is greater in the years immediately following elections; moreover, …
Modeling Fiscal Stress and Contracting Out in Local Government
Various studies have analyzed the relationship between fiscal stress and contracting out, but have failed to achieve conclusive results. In this article, we take a broad view of fiscal stress, addressed in terms of financial condition and studied over a lengthy period (2000-2010). The relationship between fiscal stress and contracting out is studied using a dynamic model, based on survival analysis, a methodology that enables us to take into acco…
