Abstract

Public services are crucial for working stable economies in the European Union and for the development of public policies, but also the ensuring of infrastructure and satisfaction of public needs. The article aims to evaluate selected public services by the volume of allocated public expenditures, focusing on similarities in the EU countries. The quantitative analysis concentrates on financial allocations by COFOG second level in selected areas of public services. The research is carried out for the period 2008-2017 by use of multidimensional scaling. The results have shown that the EU countries can be divided into seven clusters by the similarity of public expenditures on services, although partial differences are present even in these clusters. The results have proved a high similarity of services by the volume of allocated public expenditures (public health services, recreational and sporting services) and services related to housing development. On the other hand, differences in financial allocations are presented by public services which satisfy needs of society (police services) and areas of technical infrastructure (transport, waste management), compared to the other public services analysed. These findings reflect the role and size of the public sector with respect to priorities of the EU countries.
欧洲背景下的公共服务及其财政分配
公共服务对于欧洲联盟稳定的经济和公共政策的发展至关重要,而且对于确保基础设施和满足公共需要也至关重要。本文旨在通过分配公共支出的数量来评估选定的公共服务,重点关注欧盟国家的相似性。定量分析集中于政务组第二级在选定的公共服务领域的财政拨款。该研究是在2008-2017年期间使用多维尺度进行的。结果表明,欧盟国家可以根据公共服务支出的相似性分为七个集群,尽管即使在这些集群中也存在部分差异。结果证明,按分配的公共支出(公共卫生服务、娱乐和体育服务)和与住房发展有关的服务的数量计算,各项服务高度相似。另一方面,与所分析的其他公共服务相比,满足社会需要的公共服务(警察服务)和技术基础设施领域(运输、废物管理)在财政拨款方面存在差异。这些调查结果反映了公共部门在欧盟国家优先事项方面的作用和规模。
