摘要

我们记录了芬兰住宅垃圾收集从自由放任生产转向公共采购减少了活跃在当地市场的公司数量，但平均单价在统计上显著大幅下降。因此，虽然从公民的角度来看，公共采购似乎是可取的，但并非所有城市都采用公共采购。我们提供了描述性证据，证明市议会的组成与所选择的制度有关。这表明，地方政治可能是有效提供地方公共产品的一个障碍。（JEL代码：C23、D72、H76、L13和L85）。

Public Procurement versus Laissez-Faire: Evidence from Household Waste Collection

We document that switching from laissez-faire production to public procurement in residential waste collection in Finland reduces the number of firms active in the local market, but induces a statistically significant and large decrease in unit prices on average. While public procurement, thus, seems to be desirable from the citizens’ perspective, not all municipalities adopt public procurement. We provide descriptive evidence that municipal council composition is associated with the chosen regime. This suggests that local politics may be one obstacle for the efficient provision of local public goods. (JEL codes: C23, D72, H76, L13, and L85).
