• Collusion in the Dutch waste collection market (2007, background): “Therefore, in recent years political economy papers have empirically studied the factors that induce or deter privatisation for services such as refuse collection (see e.g. Lopez-de-Silanes et al., 1997, for the United States; Bel & Miralles, 2003, for Spain; Dijkgraaf et al., 2003, for the Netherla”
• What have we learned from the last three decades of empirical studies on factors driving local privatisation? (2017, methodology): “Only three studies (Chandler and Feuille 1994; Bel and Miralles 2003; and Miralles 20091) used data corresponding to the year in which the last contract was awarded in each municipality.”
• Is private production of public services cheaper than public production? A meta-regression analysis of solid waste and water services (2010, background): “8 Privatization can facilitate scale economies because private companies can distribute fixed costs efficiently over several geographic units, as they are not constrained to a single municipality (Bel & Miralles, 2003).”
• Why do local governments privatise public services? A survey of empirical studies (2007, methodology): “This shortcoming of the empirical analyses affects all the studies considered, except the works of Chandler and Feuille (1994), Bel and Miralles (2003) and Miralles (2006).”
• Factors explaining local privatization: a meta-regression analysis (2009, unknown): “explaining local privatization, with the exception of the studies by Chandler and Feuille (1994), Bel and Miralles (2003) and Miralles (2008).”
