Abstract:
|
This study develops and tests a multi-level explanatory model of local government contracting for services, based on a review of the voluminous literature in this domain. The results indicate that among the strongest determinants of local government contracting are factors relating to contract management capacity, political factors, and legal constraints. Moreover, both state and local level variables have an impact on local government contracting for services, suggesting that local decision making about service delivery alternatives is endogenous to the broader context of governance. |

This may help to explain these null findings. 13 Brown and Potoski (2003a) examined the role of isomorphic pressures on local government contracting in 1997 and found that the council-manager form of government was more likely to engage in contracting out.
