Political Economy of Public Administration or International Travel and Tourism

Political Economy of Public Administration: Institutional Choice in the Public Sector

Author: Murray J Horn

This book uses a transactions cost approach to explain the key institutional characteristics across the public sector. It defines the distinctive governance, financing and employment arrangements that characterize the common forms of public sector organization: the regulatory commission, the executive tax-financed bureau and the state-owned enterprise. It suggests why these forms are used to perform different administrative functions, and why legislators often leave very important decisions to be resolved at the administrative level.
