The Effects of Benchmarking of Public Works Performance Measures on the Cost-Effectiveness of Service Delivery: Evidence From the North Carolina Benchmarking Project
This research is an empirical analysis of the effects of the benchmarking of Efficiency Performance Measures on total costs for six Public Works service delivery areas based on data over the period 1998 to 2011 from municipalities participating in the North Carolina Performance Measurement Project, a well-established and nationally recognized performance measurement and benchmarking system. The results of this research are significant in providin…
