• Private finance for public goods: social impact bonds (2013, background): “The literature on contracting has moved beyond simple conceptions of the benefits to be gained from outsourcing public services to private markets, to a more sophisticated understanding of problems with contract design and high transaction costs (Williamson 1999; Van Slyke 2007; Hefetz and Warner 20”
• Contracting or Public Delivery? The Importance of Service, Market and Management Characteristics (2012, background): “Competition is especially critical in for-profit contracts and can be enhanced by separating the contract into subcomponent parts and bidding separately on each (Domberger and Rimmer 1994; Girth et al. 2009; Morgan 1992).”
• Factors explaining inter-municipal cooperation in service delivery: a meta-regression analysis (2016, background): “Girth et al. (2012) point to the opportunity costs of creating a market in for profit contracting, costs that are avoided in inter-municipal contracting.”
• INTER-MUNICIPAL COOPERATION AND COSTS: EXPECTATIONS AND EVIDENCE (2015, background): “Empirical research has shown that inter-municipal contracting is preferred to for profit contracting when services have higher transactions costs due to asset specificity and lack of competition (Girth et al., 2012; Hefetz and Warner, 2012; Levin and Tadelis, 2010).”
