Governance of local public service provision: Between policy, efficiency and sustainability
Purpose Balancing economic efficiency and public governance is a challenge in the provision of local environmental services. This study aims to examine how alternative organisational arrangements may reconcile efficiency requirements with public control in light of circular economy objectives and incentive regulations. Design/methodology/approach Focusing on municipal solid waste and integrated water service management, this paper develops an ana…
Policy Insights from a Single-Operator Model for Municipal Solid Waste Management
Driven by the path of ecological transition, municipal solid waste management is now more than ever at the center of debates on the most efficient delivery methods. Although competition policy advocates subdivision into lots to facilitate medium-sized enterprise participation, in some cases—notably when substantial investments are required to achieve circular economy and sustainable development goals—a single-operator model may prove more efficie…
European roadmaps to achieving 2030 renewable energy targets
Increasing the renewable energy share of electricity generation is central to decarbonization policies, and the European Union has set up binding 2030 targets. This study evaluates the potential enhancement of these countries’ paths toward these targets and provides insights into their performance in meeting their National Energy and Climate Plan targets. It predicts the distance to these targets through a three-step approach and estimates potent…
Defining the Organization of Municipal Solid Waste Management Based on Production Costs
A long-lasting dilemma on the efficient provision of services of general economic interest has become increasingly important in the waste management industry: competition or monopoly in municipal solid waste management. Previous literature has primarily examined the economics of scale and scope to provide an adequate response. Here, we contribute by investigating subadditivity in municipal solid waste management service costs. Subadditivity is a …
Designing circular economy-compliant municipal solid waste management charging schemes
We simulate the performance of a gain-sharing charging scheme aimed at boosting the circularity of municipal solid waste management; its effectiveness is empirically tested by comparing it with the performances of unit pricing and standard schemes. When unit pricing charging schemes are in place, environmental performance significantly improves while the per capita cost slightly decreases. However, by narrowing the analysis to more comparable mun…
Steering the Implementation of Urban Sustainability Projects: Implications for Policy
Air pollution and traffic congestion concerns many cities around the world, no exception for Europe where almost a third of urban citizens must cope with worrying levels of air pollution that exceed some of the European air quality standards. Urban deliveries generally contribute to problems such as pollution, noise, congestion and unsafe environments within cities. Conversely, if distribution vehicles would be used more efficiently, it should th…
