Gestió dels costos a la regidoria de cultura de l'Ajuntament de Ripoll

El treball de fi de grau “La Gestió dels Costos a la regidoria de cultura de l’Ajuntament de Ripoll” ha estat elaborat mitjançant la col·laboració de l’Ajuntament de la vila de Ripoll i el projecte planteja elaborar un estudi que serveixi per a portar un control exhaustiu dels costos a una regidoria en concret d’aquest ajuntament, la regidoria de cultura, que engloba les àrees de cultura i joventut, fires i festes. Per tant, mitjançant aquesta gestió dels costos s’ha pogut determinar quin és el cost per habitant en aquestes tres àrees de la regidoria de cultura i quins ingressos s’han obtingut al llarg del període 2011.

Public and Private Production in a Mixed Delivery System: Regulation, Competition and Costs

Academics and policy makers are increasingly shifting the debate concerning the best form of public service provision beyond the traditional dilemma between pure public and pure private delivery modes, because, among other reasons, there is a growing body of evidence that casts doubt on the existence of systematic cost savings from privatization, while any competition seems to be eroded over time. In this paper we compare the relative merits of public and private delivery within a mixed delivery system. We study the role played by ownership, transaction costs, and competition on local public service delivery within the same jurisdiction. Using a stochastic cost frontier, we analyze the public-private urban bus system in the Barcelona Metropolitan Area. Our results suggest that private firms tendering the service have higher delivery costs than those incurred by the public firm, especially when transaction costs are taken into account. Tenders, therefore, do not help to reduce delivery costs. Our results suggest that under a mixed delivery scheme, which permits the co-existence of public and private production, the metropolitan government and the regulator can use private delivery to contain costs in the public firm and, at the same time, benefit from the greater flexibility of private firms for dealing with events not provided for under contract.

Efficiency and quality in local government management: the case of Spanish local authorities

This study analyses efficiency levels in Spanish local governments and their determining factors through the application of DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) methodology. It aims to find out to what extent inefficiency arises from external factors beyond the control of the entity, or on the other hand, how much it is due to inadequate management of productive resources. The results show that on the whole, there is still a wide margin within which managers could increase local government efficiency levels, although it is revealed that a great deal of inefficiency is due to exogenous factors. It is specifically found that the size of the entity, per capita tax revenue, the per capita grants or the amount of commercial activity are some of the factors determining local government inefficiency.
