On the Cost-Efficiency of Service Delivery in Small Municipalities
Arcelus F. J., Arocena P., Cabasés F. and Pascual P. On the cost-efficiency of service delivery in small municipalities, Regional Studies. This paper analyses the determinants of the efficiency of local government spending. To that effect, a stochastic cost frontier is estimated on a sample of 260 small municipalities from Navarre, a region located in northern Spain. The results suggest that the cost-efficiency in the provision of municipal services increases with (1) the level of pooling or joint provision of services among municipalities; (2) the saliency of local taxes, as compared with regional grants, in its operating budget; (3) the presence of external public comptrollers; and (4) the magnitude of the municipality's accumulated past investment in infrastructures.
