Is private production of public services cheaper than public production? A meta-regression analysis of solid waste and water services (2010, methodology): “Transaction costs have been used to explain government choice in the decision to contract out (Nelson, 1997; Sclar, 2000; Hefetz & Warner, 2004, 2007).”
Collaborative Performance Measurement: Examining and Explaining the Prevalence of Collaboration in State and Local Government Contracts (2009, background): “Despite the recent decline in the prevalence of new contracts (Hefetz and Warner 2007), contracting out remains one of themost prevalent forms of privatization in the United States (Brudney et al. 2005).”
Insourcing and Outsourcing (2012, methodology): “To determine the level of new outsourcing and new insourcing, we use the method used in prior studies (Hefetz & Warner, 2004, 2007) for consistency of comparison.”
Private finance for public goods: social impact bonds (2013, background): “…local services contracting has shown lack of cost savings (Bel, Fageda, and Warner 2010), lower rates of consumer satisfaction (Clifton and Diaz-Fuentes 2010), and erosion in service quality, which has led to high rates of contract reversals (Hefetz and Warner 2004, 2007; Warner and Hefetz 2012).”
Managing Markets for Public Service: The Role of Mixed Public–Private Delivery of City Services (2008, background): “The rise in mixed delivery from complete contracting reflects attention to the positive potential of mixed delivery over the „either/or‟ dichotmy of public or private (Boyne, 198b; Brown, Potski, & van Slyke, 2006; Hefetz & Warner, 2007).”
The efficiency and effectiveness of municipally owned corporations: a systematic review (2017, background): “By the 1990s, contracting out local services was a growing trend in the United States (Hefetz and Warner 2007) and Europe (Pérez-López, Prior, and ZafraGómez 2015).”
Why do local governments privatise public services? A survey of empirical studies (2007, background): “18 Recent studies show that reverse privatisation may be an emerging issue in countries like the US (Hefetz & Warner, 2004, 2007) and Canada (Hebdon & Jalette, 2007).”
