    Innovation in Nonprofit Organizations (1999)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd.
    Annals of public and cooperative economics 70 (1999), S. 0

    Notes: Innovation as the driving force behind the economic growth of high-income countries has almost exclusively been researched for the private enterprise sector. Nonproft organizations as a growing sector also have to be assessed for their contribution. They are first grouped by their different outputs (proximity to public versus private good provision). Next, for each output group fields of activities are identified, which exhibit differences in management regimes and incentive structure. This leads to hypotheses (and some empirical evidence) on innovative behavior and on barriers to innovation. The result: Their potential for contributing is far from being fully used.

    Privatization and Utility Regulation in Developing Countries: the Lessons So Far (1999)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd.

    Notes: The privatization of utilities has grown in developing countries in recent years. Privatization transactions for the utilities sector have accounted for over a third of all sales in developing countries since 1988. The introduction of privatization has not necessarily meant more competition. Consequently, utility privatization has led in many cases to the creation of regulatory structures that aim to protect consumers from monopoly abuse and to provide incentives to firms to maintain efficiency. Case studies drawing on examples from the telecommunications, electricity and water sectors indicate that creating effective regulation and a competitive environment is a difficult and slow process. The cases have shown that regulation rather than privatization achieved the largest gains. Similarly, although the variety of regulatory measures that have been introduced have made a difference, the most tangible benefits, particularly to consumers, result from the establishment of competition. The case studies have shown that privatization has preceded the development of effective regulation and competition. The development of regulatory structures is constrained by the capacity of governments to enforce regulatory rules and monitor contracts. Fostering conditions that encourage competition and lessen anti-competitive behaviour by incumbents is a beneficial but slow process.

    Inefficiency in the Spanish Cooperative Banking Sector (1999)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd.
    Annals of public and cooperative economics 70 (1999), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-8292
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper researches X-inefficiency and scale economies in Spanish cooperative banking between 1988 and 1996, using the stochastic cost frontier methodology. The Translog cost function, with three outputs and three inputs, is used to measure X-inefficiencies across time and size. During this period of time there is no important reduction in inefficiency levels, so deregulation and internationalization has little effect on the Spanish cooperative banking market. We can see that large cooperative banks are less inefficient than small ones, indicating that it would be convenient to increase the size of these kinds of banks in order to reduce inefficiencies in this sector. We also find scale economies during this period.

    Is Fiscal Progressivity Enhanced by Redistribution in Kind? (1999)
    Oxford, UK and Boston, USA : Blackwell Publishers Ltd.
    Annals of public and cooperative economics 70 (1999), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1467-8292
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This paper considers the redistributive effects of four mixed fiscal systems in which redistribution in cash is combined with redistribution in kind. A private good is offered by both the public and the private sector, at a non-zero price in both cases, so that the market is vertically segmented and the quality differences are used to select recipients on the basis of their income. This paper shows how an appropriate selection of recipients can add redistributive power to an already redistributive taxation system, while universal public provision never does. A numerical simulation gives some policy insights.

    UK utilities: Past reform and current proposals (1999)

    Notes: Utilities in the UK have undergone dramatic reform in the past fifteen years. This paper assesses the outcome by reviewing previously published work and introducing some new evidence, and assesses the UK Government's 1998 proposed reforms. We outline the impact of change of ownership, re-regulation and introducing competition on efficiency, investment, quality of service, prices and equity. We conclude that these reforms can yield benefits if they are undertaken within a clear framework of wider social and environmental benefits. Initial regulation in the UK has not always satisfied these criteria, and we welcome the government's proposed reforms, with some caveats

    Performance des activités d'éducation et de recherche des systèmes d'enseignement supérieur de l'OCDE (1999)

    Notes: Most of the studies in the literature on performance in higher education focus on international comparisons of education expenditure, mainly the expenditure per student, and do not take into account the multi-dimensional outcome of higher education activities, i.e. research and education. To go thoroughly into the analysis of higher education systems performance, we develop a complementary approach based on the notion of efficiency (“Data Envelopment Analysis” method). Moreover, we evaluate the internal and external efficiency of education and research activities performed by higher education systems, by taking into consideration the labour market integration of the graduates and the publications weighted by the number of researchers. Taking into account the two-dimensional activity of higher education and introducing qualitative measures of education and research outputs strongly modify the level of efficiency of OECD countries compared with a quantitative one-dimensional assessment of higher education performance.Les éudes de comparaison internationale en matière d'évaluation de l'enseignement supérieur se limitent à une analyse budgétaire bivariée. Dans cet article, nous analysons la performance de l'enseignement supérieur en tenant compte de l'éducation et de la recherche. Cette approche se concentre sur la notion d'efficacité(méthode “Data Envelopment Analysis”). Nous mesurons l'efficacité interne et externe de l'enseignement et de la recherche en tenant compte de l'insertion des diplômés sur le marché du travail et des publications pondérées par le nombre de chercheurs. L'introduction du caractère multi-outputs de l'enseignement supérieur et/ou des mesures qualitatives modifie considérablement le niveau d'efficacitédes pays de l'OCDE.

    La construction sociale du produit financier postal (1999)

    Notes: This article deals with the financial function of the Postal Service. On the basis of the clientele management modules of financial centres and the post offices as units for the analysis, the authors make a census of the various financial “products” being supported by the analytical pattern of “worlds” (of production).This census voluntarily focusing on the civic world is followed by an attempt to identify the different corresponding overcosts. The authors also examine the contradictions and conflicts opposing the protagonists of service provision when they explicitly or implicitly belong to different worlds.

    Estimation des Économies D'échelle et de gamme dans de petites coopératives de services financiers: le cas des caisses populaires acadiennes (1999)

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: This study uses accounting data stemming from 80 credit unions affiliated to the “Fédération des caisses populaires acadiennes” to estimate a multi-product translog cost function with the aim to test for the presence of scale and scope economies. The cost model relies on the production approach and the financial services are gathered in four categories of products. The model is completed by three inputs and one control variable, the latter being used to capture the heterogeneity of costs arising from the average wealth of membership. Since the estimated output elasticity of the total cost, 0.89, is statistically less than one, the models detect quite important scale economies. As to scope economies, they are present but the coefficients are weakly significant.
