Softcover. Condizione: As New. Leichte Kratzer / Abnutzungen / Druckstellen. This book presents a formal theory of supply by bureaus, offering a comprehensive analysis of their behavior within representative government. The author challenges the conventional belief that monopoly bureaus are optimal for the public sector and proposes that competitive bureaus and private firms can deliver services like mail, military operations, and education more efficiently than current government agencies. The theory posits that many bureaus are overly large, expand too quickly, utilize excessive capital, and exploit their sponsors. It elucidates the relationship between a bureau's output and budget in relation to demand and cost decisions, while comparing bureaus to other organizational forms under similar conditions. The text also explores the production and investment behaviors of various types of organizations, including nonprofit firms and mixed bureaus, and examines the impacts of competition between bureaus and competitive industries. Additionally, it introduces a straightforward theory of the market for public services funded through representative government and concludes with recommendations for enhancing the performance of bureaucratic and political institutions, drawing on both theoretical insights and the author's professional experience. This work is vital for social science professionals and students, potentially influencing reforms in government institutions.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This is the first book to develop a formal theory of supply by bureaus. Niskanen develops an original and comprehensive theory of the behavior of bureaus with the institutions of representative government. He challenges the traditional view that monopoly bureaus are the best way to organize the public sector, and he suggests ways to use competitive bureaus and private firms to perform operations such as delivering mail, fighting wars, or running schools more efficiently than the present government agencies.The theory concludes that most bureaus are too large, grow too fast, use too much capital, and exploit their sponsor. His theory explains the relation of the output and budget of a bureau to demand and cost decisions. It compares bureaus with other forms of organization facing like conditions and delineates the production and investment behavior of a bureau, the behavior of nonprofit firms with no sponsor, the behavior of mixed bureaus with financing from a sponsor and from the sale of services, the effects of competition between a bureau and a competitive industry.The book also develops a simple theory of the market for public services financed through a representative government; the final section suggests a set of changes to improve the performance of our bureaucratic and political institutions, based both on theory and Niskanen's professional experience. It is essential reading for professionals and students in the social sciences and could prove instrumental in reforming some of our government institutions. 252 pp. Englisch.…
