“…“Despite countless extensions, these early models are still the most frequently utilized models” (Kohl et al [ 30 : 253]). The models with “constant returns to scale (CCR) assume that changes in the inputs result in proportional changes in the outputs, while variable returns to scale (BCC) assume that an increase (or decrease) in the inputs does not necessarily lead to proportional changes in the outputs” (Kalinichenko et al, [ 64 : 1088]). The efficiency estimate obtained by the CCR model is called technical efficiency, in which DMUs are compared to each other, regardless of the size at which each one operates [ 32 , 62 , 65 ].…”

Organ transplant is one of the best options for many medical conditions, and in many cases, it may be the only treatment option. Recent evidence suggests, however, that the COVID-19 pandemic might have detrimentally affected the provision of this type of healthcare services. The main purpose of this article is to use Data Envelopment Analysis and the Malmquist Index to assess the impact that the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 had on the provision of solid organ transplant services. To this purpose, we use three complementary models, each focusing on specific aspects of the organ donation and transplantation process, and data from Brazil, which has one of the most extensive public organ transplant programs in the world. Using data from 17 States plus the Federal District, the results of our analysis show a significant drop in the performance of the services in terms of the organ donation and transplantation process from 2018 to 2020, but the results also indicate that not all aspects of the process and States were equally affected. Furthermore, by using different models, this research also allows us to gain a more comprehensive and informative assessment of the performance of the States in delivering this type of service and identify opportunities for reciprocal learning, expanding our knowledge on this important issue and offering opportunities for further research.

“…Previous studies have focused either on the performance of local governments in general (e.g., Cohen et al., 2012; Galariotis et al., 2016) or certain public services and infrastructure like education (e.g., Aparicio et al., 2017; De Witte & Schiltz, 2018; Mancebón et al., 2012; Portela et al., 2012), fire services (e.g., Jaldell, 2005), health care provision (e.g., Amado & Dyson, 2008; Kalinichenko et al., 2021; Pereira et al., 2021), library services (e.g., De Witte & Geys, 2013), police services (e.g., Verschelde & Rogge, 2012), road maintenance (e.g., Kalb, 2014), waste management (e.g., Benito et al., 2014; Pérez‐López et al., 2016), or water supply (e.g., Renzetti & Dupont, 2009) in particular. This extensive literature, however, still suffers from several limitations.…”

Do local expenditures on sports facilities affect sports participation?

This paper contributes to the literature evaluating the performance of local governments by analyzing the effect of local public expenditures on sports facilities on sports participation in Germany. To this end, we use a new data base containing public expenditures at the municipality level and link this information with individual level data. We form locally weighted averages of expenditures based on geographic distances and analyze how effects of sports facility expenditures change with different expenditures levels (“dose‐response relationship”). We find no effect of sports facility expenditures on individual sports participation. These findings are robust across age groups and municipality sizes.

Background: Quality of health-care services has grown in importance in both developed and developing countries' health-care systems over the years. This study aims to assess patients’ perception of quality of primary health care services in Osun State in order to improve healthcare outcomesMethods: This study employed the descriptive cross-sectional design to assess patients’ perception of quality of primary health care services in Osun State.Results: A greater proportion of respondents were motivated to utilize primary health care facilities as a result of accessibility to services/good attitude of health service providers compared to availability of services, affordability of health care services and quality of services. Sixty-two percent of 13 items measuring perception of quality of care by health care providers had above average response, only 25% of items measuring perception of quality of health care service delivery had above average response and only 16% of items measuring perception of quality of health facility had more than average responses. Physical accessibility, adequacy of cost and respectfulness of health workers were very important predictors of patient satisfaction with care.Conclusions: Overall quality of care is perceived to be of average quality. It is recommended that strategies be put in place to ensure sustenance of service areas with perceived good quality and continuous improvement of service areas with perceived poor quality especially recruitment of more health workers, provision of adequate medical equipment and improvement of payment arrangements at the facility.
