| Title: | | Performance rating and yardstick competition in social service provision  |
| Authors: | | Revelli, Federico |
| Issue Date: | | 2004 |
| Series/Report no.: | | CESifo working papers 1270 |
| Abstract: | | This paper investigates whether national evaluation of decentralised government performance tends, by lessening local information spill-overs, to reduce the scope for local performance comparisons and consequently to lower the extent of spatial auto-correlation among local government expenditures. It analyses UK local government expenditures on personal social services before and after the introduction of a national performance assessment system (SSPR, Social Services Performance Rating) that would attribute a rating to each local authority. The empirical evidence suggests that the introduction of the SSPR has substantially reduced policy mimicking among neighboring jurisdictions. |
