Public sector benchmarking
This article assesses the past 15 years' evolution of Public Sector Benchmarking (PSB) research. We do so with a database of 147 peer-reviewed articles published between 1990 and 2005. Over this period PSB evolved into a mature and strongly international field of research. A theoretical and conceptual rift runs through the literature, with those advocating PSB as a tool for managed competition on one side, and those promoting benchmarking as a vo…
American bias in environmental economics
American bias in environmental economics
Environmental economics evolved in the 1970s. A recurring theme in this new sub‐discipline of economics was the opposition of incentive‐based regimes and regulatory policies as competing approaches to industrial pollution control, with economists claiming that the former were more efficient. Both economists and non‐economists have since come to the conclusion that the incentives versus regulations image is conceptually flawed and does not square …
Policing the urban pumping race
Machine Tools and The Indonesian Engineering Subsector
A sharp rise in machine tool imports after 1986 indicates that the Indonesian machinery industry is rapidly expanding. Whereas such buoyant growth gives cause for optimism, firm-level evidence reveals that the import substitution policies pursued in the 1980s have saddled the engineering subsector with a lopsided structure. Infant industry policies were aimed at engineering goods far beyond the technical capabilities of local manufacturers. Conse…
Business Contracts in Javanese Vegetable Marketing
The paper looks at long-term personalized business contracts in Javanese vegetable marketing as mechanisms for coping with pervasive uncertainty. It thereby builds on a perspective evolving in both anthropology and in industrial sociology. Comparing exchange relationships along two vegetable assembly channels, it finds a rich variety of contract and non-contract forms of exchange. Comparative analysis indicates close links between exchange patter…
