• Does privatization of solid waste and water services reduce costs? A review of empirical studies (2008, background): “Domberger et al. (1986) looked at 305 municipalities in England and Wales from 1983 to 1985 (before compulsory competitive tendering, CCT; was introduced in 1988, requiring municipalities to allow private competition for waste collection).”
• Explaining differences in efficiency: an application to Spanish municipalities (2010, background): “The fact that both in-house and public provision of refuse collection service is more efficient may be revealing the collusion effect pointed out by Dijkgraaf and Gradus (2005).”
• Private finance for public goods: social impact bonds (2013, background): “…of problems with contract design and high transaction costs (Williamson 1999; Van Slyke 2007; Hefetz and Warner 2012), monitoring (Johnston and Girth 2012), lack of competition (Girth et al. 2012), and the need for ongoing market regulation (Dijkgraaf and Gradus 2007; Albalate et al. 2012).”
• The efficiency and effectiveness of municipally owned corporations: a systematic review (2017, background): “In the Dutch waste industry, MOCs do better than bureaucracy (Dijkgraaf and Gradus 2003) and as well as private firms (Dijkgraaf and Gradus 2003; 2007).”
• Privatization and Intermunicipal Contracting: The US Local Government Experience 1992–2007 (2012, result): “These results are consistent with cross-national research on cost savings in privatization, which has found that savings erode over time (Bel et al, 2010b; Dijkgraaf and Gradus, 2007).”
• Empirical analysis of solid management waste costs: Some evidence from Galicia, Spain (2009, background): “Finally, Dijkgraaf and Gradus (2007) analyzed the factors which determined the total costs of waste services in 453 municipalities in the Netherlands for the year 2002.”
