Local Governments in the Wake of Demographic Change : Efficiency and Economies of Scale in German Municipalities

Geys, Benny; Heinemann, Friedrich; Kalb, Alexander - 2011

German municipalities are expected to suffer from (often significant) population losses in the upcoming decades. We assess these local governments' vulnerability to the fiscal consequences of this demographic decline through two means (using a sample of 1021 municipalities in the state of...

Political donations, public procurement and government efficiency

Titl, Vitezslav; De Witte, Kristof; Geys, Benny - 2019

Firms' political donations can induce distortions in the allocation of public procurement contracts. In this article, we employ an advanced non-parametric efficiency model to study the public sector (cost) efficiency implications of such distortions. Using a unique dataset covering the Czech...

The Political Economy of Efficient Public Good Provision : Evidence from Flemish Libraries Using a Generalised Conditional Efficiency Framework

De Witte, Kristof; Geys, Benny - 2011

Provision of most public goods (e.g., health care, library services, education, utilities) can be characterised by a two-stage ‘production’ process. The first stage translates basic inputs (e.g., labour and capital) into service potential (e.g., opening hours), while the second stage...
