Description
Bureaucracy & Representative Government This book develops a formal theory of supply by bureaus and challenges traditional views on the organization of the public sector. William A. Niskanen argues that competitive bureaus and private firms can perform certain operations more efficiently than existing government agencies. Niskanen's theory explains how bureaus behave, including their output and budget decisions, and compares them to other forms of organization facing similar conditions. The book also explores the market for public services financed through a representative government and suggests changes to improve the performance of bureaucratic institutions. Written by an economist with professional experience in the field, this book is essential reading for professionals and students in social sciences who want to understand how bureaucracies work and how they can be improved.
