Research Projects
Service Delivery

The Service Delivery Project is focused on empirically testing explanations for local service delivery arrangements based on theories of relational contracting and transaction costs. This project focuses on privatization and local service provision and production choices. Current work includes studies of the influence of political institutions and turnover on service delivery arrangement, changes in production arrangements, and a study of the role on nonprofit organizations in delivering local services. This project has been supported by the DeVoe Moore Center and the Aspen Institute Nonprofit Sector Research Fund grant "Nonprofits as Local Government Contractors."
