The attempt to introduce competition into the public sector has been prominent on the agenda of most Western governments for the past 15 years. In the UK and US in particular, government policies have laid heavy emphasis on the benefits of competition. The rise of public choice theory on academic agendas has paralleled, and in some cases informed, the concern of policy-makers with competition.

This book provides a rigorous and comprehensive assessment of the empirical validity of public choice theories of the performance of local governments in the UK and the US.
