Propper C, Wilson D, 2003, The Use and Usefulness of Performance Measures in the Public Sector

Основное внимание в работе обращено на эмпирические данные относительно измерений производительности в общественном секторе. Работа начинается с рассмотрения характеристик общественного сектора, которые делают процесс измерения производительности достаточно сложным, а именно наличие множества принципалов и множества заданий. В работе обсуждается формы измерения производительности, использование данных измерений и возможная реакция на эти данные. Исследуются примеры измерений в сфере образования и здравоохранения в Великобритании и США. Также представлены наиболее очевидные реакции на проведение аналогичных измерений. В целом делаются выводы о том, в каких случаях измерение производительности приводит к улучшению предоставления услуг. Работа завершается выдами автора о том, как следует использовать измерения производительности и какие измерения полезно проводить

Burgess S, McConnell B, Propper C, Wilson Det al., 2003, Girls Rock, Boys Roll: An Analysis of the Age 14-16 Gender Gap in English Schools

The aim of this paper is to examine gender related differences in performance at age 16. We investigate a number of possible explanations for the underachievement of boys relative to girls, the so-called ‘gender gap’. We employ a national dataset of the matched exam results of the entire cohort of pupils who took Key Stage 3 tests in 1999 and GCSEs in 2001: over half a million pupils in over 3000 schools. Our key result is the sheer consistency of the gender gap, across both the attainment and the ability distribution, with regard to both raw outcomes and value added. It is primarily driven by performance differentials in English. We show that it is not related to whether a school performs well or poorly, or whether it is effective or ineffective. Nor is it affected by any of the leading observable school characteristics. The generality of the gender gap suggests that its source is not within-school practice, which in turn means that policy directed at improving such practice may be misplaced.

Propper C, Wilson D, 2003, The Use and Usefulness of Performance Measures in the Public Sector

The paper focuses on the empirical evidence on the use and usefulness of performance measures in the public sector. It begins with consideration of the features of the public sector which make the use of performance measures complex: the issues of multiple principals and multiple tasks. It discusses the form that performance measures may take, the use made of these measures and the responses that individual may make to them. Empirical examples from the fields of education and health, with a focus on the US and UK, are examined. There is clear evidence of responses to such measures. Some of these responses improve efficiency, but others do not and fall into the category of ‘gaming’. Generally, there has been little assessment of whether performance measures bring about improvements in service. The paper ends with consideration of how such measures should be used and what measures are useful to collect.

Cullis JG, Jones PR, Propper C, 2000, Chapter 23 Waiting lists and medical treatment: Analysis and policies, Pages: 1201-1249

A number of health care systems use waiting time as a rationing device for access to inpatient care. However, a considerable amount of research has focussed in particular on the UK's National Health Service and its perceived problem of waiting "lists". In this chapter a theoretical discussion addresses the issue of the optimum wait in the context of Paretian welfare economics. However, reference is also made to public choice analysis and to queuing theory. Empirical literature that explores the various dimensions of waiting costs is reviewed and evaluated. Different methods of estimation are illustrated and these include contingent valuation, implied valuation and econometric modelling. The policy section assesses various "solutions" to the waiting list "problem". Options are classified in terms of their impact on excess demand and the issue of waiting list management is addressed. In the absence of an over-arching welfare analysis both empirical work and policy recommendations are inevitably piece-meal and open to debate. Given the inherent weaknesses of applied welfare economics the challenge is to find a framework which would attract a broader consensus. © 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
