Empirical Evaluation of Bureaucratic
Models of Inefficiency

Abstract - Two separate but related strands of
literature exist regarding the efficiency of public sector service
provision - the theoretical base developed in the bureaucratic models of
supply and the methodological base developed in the operations research
and economic literatures. Most analyses focus exclusively on either
the measurement or causes of inefficiency. This paper seeks to
empirically test bureaucratic models of supply by drawing on the
measurement literature. In anticipation of the results, it is found
that there does exist empirical evidence supporting some of the
implications of these models.
