Disputes over penalties for breaching a contract are often resolved in court. A simple model illustrates how inefficient courts can sway public buyers from enforcing a penalty for late delivery in order to avoid litigation, therefore inducing sellers to delay contract delivery. By using a large dataset on Italian public procurement, we empirically study the effects of court inefficiency on public work performance. We find that where courts are inefficient: i) public works are delivered with longer delays; ii) delays increase for more valuable contracts; iii) contracts are more often awarded to larger suppliers; and iv) a higher share of the payment is postponed after delivery. Other interpretations receive less support from the data.

Knowledge intensive business services (KIBS) are a rapidly developing sector of modern economies. Numerous studies suggest that KIBS facilitate knowledge exchange between providers and consumers, and improve the innovativeness of the latter. However, because KIBS are strongly reliant on service co-production by the customer and provider working in partnership, intensive cooperation between the two parties ...

Об аутсорсинге функции закупок в государственном секторе говорят не очень часто. Вроде бы и так все понятно. Предусмотренное законом о госзакупках привлечение специализированных организаций (ст.40 44-ФЗ) вполне конкретно определяет круг полномочий, которые заказчик может передать внешней организации. В последнее десятилетие с внедрением электронных закупок много технических не специфичных закупочных функций забрали на себя ЕИС, другие ...

И во многом эти реформы были реализованы. По оценкам исследования Всемирного банка, охватившего 180 стран, по показателю «размещение информации о закупках» Россия получила ...
