Vertical Grants and Local Public Efficiency
Bischoff, Ivo; Bönisch, Peter; Haug, Peter; Illy, Annette - 2013
This paper analyses the impact of vertical grants on local public sector efficiency. First, we develop a theoretical model in which the bureaucrat sets the tax price while voters choose the quantity of public services. In this model, grants reduce efficiency if voters do not misinterpret the...

Problems of using grouped DMUs for efficiency measurement: Monte Carlo experiments, empirical dimension, and a correction procedure
Brümmer, Bernhard; Thiele, Holger D. - 1999
This paper explores the consequences for parametric and non-parametric efficiency levels and rankings when using grouped instead of individual Decision Making Units (DMU). The bias results due to the differences of the grouped DMUs frontier compared to the individual DMUs frontier. Monte Carlo...
