Local Service Provision in Selected OECD Countries: Do Decentralized Operations Work Better?
Mr. Ehtisham Ahmad
,
Mr. Giorgio Brosio

Mr. Vito Tanzi

This suggests the need for a careful design of programs that take into account the political economy constraints and incentives, as well as more systematic and thorough evaluations of outcomes.
