A common situation that state efficiency research has to deal with is total lack of information about actual efficiency parameters: the only data available for analysis is the amount of inputs (in most cases, monetary, corresponding to budget expenditure) and the amount of outputs (in most cases, quantifiable public goods). A non-parametric method such as DEA is well-suited for estimating DMU efficiency in such cases, although different input and output specifications might yield contradictory estimates. In this paper we provide an example of how a dynamic model of the state redistribution based on common assumptions about production technology allows to benchmark efficiency estimates. The model becomes a systematic generator of inputs and outputs to be estimated via DEA; model (pre-set) parameters are to be compared to DEA efficiency scores. We also propose a way to combine both “static” and “dynamic” approaches to measuring public sector efficiency by using aggregated DEA inputs.

The study has two major focuses. The first one is of a methodological kind: we investigate the capabilities of a formal dynamic model to link theory and empirical estimation techniques. The other one is much more specified: we deal with the problems of public good provision and public capital accumulation and depreciation. Tying it all ...

The article deals with contemporary approaches to state effectiveness research. The author compares the advantages and drawbacks of two key approaches prevailing in the field: the organizational approach, dealing with micro-level research; and the institutional approach, aimed at state-level comparative research. There is a way to combine the advantages of these approaches when using Data ...

The main focus of this paper is the impact of efficiency losses, related to public capital stock, on the prospects of economic growth in democratic and autocratic political environments. We introduce a distinction between two types of efficiency loss: along with the loss of public capital during its accumulation, we take into account the process ...

This paper deals with a model of economic growth, which we expand to include endogenous policy switching based on retrospective voting. It is shown that under certain conditions the solution has a special form that we call a cyclically balanced growth path. This type of solution is an analogue to balanced growth paths, which often ...

Government efficiency is one of many fuzzy terms in contemporary political science. Due to its multidimensionality, it is not well-defined and, therefore, hard to identify. The idea of the current research is to create an index of government efficiency using data envelopment analysis. Using a sample of 127 countries for the period of 2009-2011 we ...

Balanced growth paths are typical research subjects for models of macroeconomic dynamics. Balanced growth paths are model solutions that assume constant policy parameters (such as tax rate) and allow for monotonous and proportional growth of model components. In this paper, we construct and test a model with policy switching based on economic retrospective voting: the ...
