Texto completoThe results of the analysis confirm that the decentralisation process significantly improved political participation of the local population. However, the second objective of enhancing efficiency through decentralisation was not achieved. To the contrary, in the institutional design of the newly created local authorities and in the civil service recruitment policy efficiency considerations did not matter. Additionally, the created mechanisms for political participation generate relevant costs. Thus it is impossible to judge unambiguously on the contribution of decentralisation to the achievement of good governance. Different subtargets of good governance are influenced contrarily. Consequently, the adequacy of the concept of good governance as a guiding concept for decentralisation policies can be questioned. The assessment of the success of decentralisation policies requires a normative framework that takes into account the relations between both participation and efficiency.
Despite the partly reduced administrative efficiency the author’s overall impression of the decentralisation process in Lesotho is positive. The establishment of democratically legitimised and participatory local governments justifies certain additional expenditure. However, mistakes in the design and the implementation of the decentralisation strategy would have been avoidable.
Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit dem Prozess der politischen und administrativen Dezentralisierung im Königreich Lesotho, einem Entwicklungsland im Südlichen Afrika. Orientierung für die Dezentralisierungsstrategie bietet das in der internationalen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit anerkannte Leitbild der „Good Governance“. Die Arbeit untersucht, wie die Umsetzung der Dezentralisierung im Falle Lesothos konkret zur Annäherung an das Leitbild der Good Governance beiträgt.
Die Ergebnisse bestätigen, dass sich die Beteiligungsmöglichkeiten der Bevölkerung an den lokalen politischen Prozessen durch die Dezentralisierung erheblich verbessert haben. Das gleichzeitig verfolgte Ziel, durch dezentrale Strukturen die Effizienz zu steigern, konnte nicht erreicht werden. Es ist, im Gegenteil, von geringerer Effizienz auszugehen. Grund hierfür sind sowohl die Kosten der Partizipation, als auch ein institutionelles Design und eine Personalpolitik, die Effizienzgesichtspunkte weitgehend vernachlässigen. Ein pauschales Urteil, ob der Dezentralisierungsprozess in Lesotho Good Governance befördert, ist somit nicht möglich. Die Auswirkungen auf verschiedene Unterziele von Good Governance sind sowohl positiv als auch negativ. Damit zeigt sich, dass Good Governance im Falle Lesothos nur bedingt als Leitbild und Zielsystem für Dezentralisierung geeignet ist. Um den Erfolg der Dezentralisierung einzuschätzen ist ein normativer Rahmen erforderlich, der die Beziehung beider Ziele nicht ausblendet.
Der Autor plädiert im Falle Lesothos für eine bedingt positive Gesamteinschätzung des Dezentralisierungsprozesses, trotz der verringerten Effizienz. Der Aufbau von demokratisch legitimierten und beteiligungsintensiven kommunalen Strukturen rechtfertigt bestimmte Aufwendungen. Fehler bei Planung und Umsetzung der Dezentralisierungsstrategie wären jedoch vermeidbar gewesen.

Texto completoEl presente proyecto de tesis plantea la evaluación multidimensional de distintos aspectos relacionados con la eficiencia en costes de los gobiernos locales en España, utilizando métodos de análisis frontera no paramétricos. Al hacer esto se tiene en cuenta el escenario de crisis económica vivido en España durante los últimos años y que ha tenido un gran impacto en los ingresos y finanzas locales en general. La tesis contribuye al desarrollo de herramientas robustas para evaluar y promover la mejora de la eficiencia de los gobiernos locales. Los resultados empíricos aportan evidencia para una mejor definición de políticas públicas mediante la evaluación e identificación de los gobiernos locales más eficientes como punto de referencia para establecer mejoras potenciales y, por lo tanto, poder eliminar ineficiencias (en costes) que ayuden a reducir el gasto público.

Texto completoMunicipalities have the responsibility to deliver services to the communities in a fast and efficient manner, and to deliver these services there is a need for financial resources and institutional capacity. The challenge that beset the municipalities is that they struggle to collect revenue. There is a gap between available financial resources and the municipal expenditure needs largely as a result of the revenue collection challenges facing the municipalities. The revenue collection challenge therefore, needs to be adequately addressed for the municipalities to be successful. Municipalities have the right to finance their affairs through charging fees for services; imposing surcharges on fees, rates, levies and duties. The municipal council have the responsibility to implement and adopt tariff policies. These tariff policies must espouse the principles that ensure the equitable treatment of municipal service users. Tariff policies must also ensure that the amount paid by individual users for services is proportionate to their usage. Municipalities should, in terms of law, differentiate between the different categories of ratepayers, users of services, debtors, taxes, services and service standard. This study was based on the combination of both qualitative and quantitative research design. It followed a case study approach of comparative investigation between the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality revenue collection and South African Revenue Service. The quantitative research was done through the administration of questionnaires to the ratepayers, corporate taxpayers and tax practitioners. This was complemented by the qualitative in-depth interview questionnaires administered to both South African Revenue Service and the Tshwane Metropolitan municipality to ensure that the data collected are both collaborated and diverse to enable the researcher to draw a balanced conclusion. In the light of the above, this study therefore investigated the strategies and legislative framework that is employed by the municipalities and contrasted with those that are used by the South African Revenue Service, with the aim of taking possible learnings that can be applied in the municipalities. The study concluded by proposing guidelines that can be used by municipalities in revenue collection.

The study mainly focuses on discussing the efficiency of local government expenditure, and the improvement in Expenditure for every county and city. At last, it will discuss about the factors with influence on the efficiency of local government’s expenditure. 18 counties in Taiwan in the period of 2002 to 2011 were investigated. The empirical model includes one input variable that is total expenditures, and output variable selects one criteria from the number of students in primary and junior high school, the length of the, the population of elders and disabled people, the population working in the government, the number of the criminal cases solved, and the number of waste conveying. In this paper, Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is employed, and two models are applied to assess their efficiency, namely the CCR model initiated by Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes in 1978, and the BCC model proposed by Banker, Charnes and Cooper. In the CCR model¸ the most efficient three Counties are Chunghwa, Yuanlin, and Taoyuan. The lowest efficient three Counties are Hsinchu City, Hsinchu, and Miaoli. In the BCC model, Tainan City, Chunghwa County, Yuanlin County, Penghu County and Jiayi City are the most efficient counties. Keelung City and Miaoli City are bad in efficiency. Then, by the slack variable analysis finds out the expenditure can be saved in the last ten years. In the CCR model, 101.162 billion N.T. dollars can be saved. All counties and cities can save 499.492 billion N.T. dollars. In the BCC model, Miaoli County can save the most expenditure 41.701 billion dollars, and all counties and cities can save 237.913 billion dollars. Finally, in the Tobit regression model, factors can have positive influence on expenditure are the “lower the density of the population”, “higher proportion of the plain area”, “higher rate of services industry”, “the higher quality of the public servants”, and “ lower dependence on the loan and subsidy”. The Higher Education proportion above 15 has negative relevance to the efficiency of expenditure, but it is only significant in the CCR model. Every person’s disposable Income has negative relevance to the efficiency of expenditure; however, it is not significant in the three models.

The main purpose of this study is discussing the electric efficiency in the Household Registration Office from 2008 to 2009. Trough the application of Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA), we can know buildings have potential energy-saving space and improve the way of energy efficiency. And we hope that through energy performance rating, we can give the building which has less energy efficiency the advice for improvement. In addition, compare the energy efficiency of the single year by Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA). Use Catching effiency analysis of Malmquist Productivity Index(MPI) to analyze the energy performance of cross-phase in every government agency and find out if the Technical Efficiency of two phases in the assessed government agency is improved or not. If it is, it shows that the assessed government agency is much near the Efficiency Forntier than the previous phase. If not, it will be opposite result. At last use Malmquist Productivity Index(MPI) to understand the productivity change of cross-phase in the assessed government agency. In this study, apply Data Envelopment Analysis(DEA)and Malmquist Productivity Index(MPI) on he Household Registration Office from 2008 to 2009 and use DEAP2.1 software to compute. The energy consumption is for input, floor area, number of employees, local population is for output. We hope that we can rate the energy performance and productivity change through this analysis and give the assessed government agency the direction and suggestions for improvement.

This study uses data envelopment analysis (DEA) to do empirical analysis. The data period is 1999-2005. The empirical model includes one input variable that is total expenditures of 21 local governments in Taiwan and four output variables that are total population, number of people over 65 years old, number of subsistence beneficiaries, number of students in primary school of 21 local governments in Taiwan. Using the CCR ( Charnes, Cooper and Rhodes model ) and BCC ( Banker, Charnes and Cooper model ) of DEA measure the overall efficiency, pure technological efficiency and scale efficiency of local government expenditures in Taiwan. The empirical results show that the overall efficiency performance of local governments in south Taiwan is the best. The north local governments such as Taipei County and Taoyuan County, the local governments such Changhua County and Yunlin County, and south local governments such as Pingtung County are highly overall efficiency. For the pure technological efficiency, the performances of local governments in south and east Taiwan are good. Chiayi City is the best of the pure technological efficiency performance. Finally, the result of scale efficiency indicates Changhua County and Pingtung County are constant return to scales but Taipei County is decreasing return to scales.
