The OECD Metropolitan Governance Survey

Abstract

В результате анализа для Женевы степень нуж-ности реформ управления была охарактеризована как "высокая" с рекомендацией по переходу к децентрализованной модели управления. Для Линца, Штутгарта и Мадрида степень нужности реформ оха-рактеризована как "низкая" с рекомендацией по переходу к децентра-лизации (Штутгарт) и к централизации (Линц и Мадрид). Остальные городские агломерации выборки в реформах не нуждаются.Ключевые слова: модель управления агломерацией, эффективность модели управления, выбор модели управления. Domestic researchers (N. Zubarevich, K. Gonchar, etc.) and foreign researchers (Glaeser Edward L., Nakamura, Ciccone A., Hall R., etc.) Research purpose. In order to implement the optimal metropolitan governance model, it is important to understand the conditions under which this or that model is economically effective. There is a need to develop a quantitatively justified methodology for choosing the optimal metropolitan governance model for different types of metropolitan areas. It has been emphasized in some federal documents of Russia, for example, in the "Recommendations for the selection of pilot projects for approbation and improvement of mechanisms for managing the development of metropolitan areas in the Russian Federation". Materials and methods.

What Makes Cities More Productive? Evidence From Five Oecd Countries on the Role of Urban Governance

“…Therefore, explicitly introducing governance arrangements into the estimation is likely to be even more relevant for the U.S. subsample than it is for the other four countries. Ahrend et al (2014) collect information on governance bodies for OECD metropolitan areas, that is, FUAs with at least 500,000 inhabitants, a subset of the cities considered in this study. Accounting explicitly for governance bodies therefore limits the analysis to 140 metropolitan areas.…”

“…Important policy areas that are likely to create inefficient outcomes at the metropolitan level are land use and transport polices, which can greatly benefit from adequate metropolitan coordination. Descriptive evidence suggests that the presence of governance bodies is associated with less sprawling development, and that transport authorities at the metropolitan level are linked with better quality in public transport provision (Ahrend et al, 2014). However, the influence of administrative fragmentation may stem from a variety of associated factors and warrants further investigation.…”

“…Fragmentation is captured by the natural logarithm of the number of municipalities (for Germany, Mexico, and Spain), local authority districts (United Kingdom) or counties (United States) within a city, based on data from the OECD Metropolitan Database. 22 Governance structures are based on the OECD Metropolitan Governance Survey (Ahrend et al, 2014) and enter the equation as a binary indicator for the presence of a governance body (which is also interacted with administrative fragmentation). Regressions also control for agglomeration benefits by including the (natural logarithms of) population density and the area covered by the city.…”

“…Furthermore, local governmental units may fail to take into account the positive externalities associated with the public goods relevant at the level of the FUA (see, e.g., Pinto, 2007). Thus administrative fragmentation can, for example, obstruct transport infrastructure investments and effective land use planning, thereby increasing congestion and reducing a city's attractiveness for individuals and businesses (see Ahrend, Gamper, and Schumann, 2014). Fragmentation may also pose problems in the area of business and environmental regulation if the additional bureaucracy associated with fragmented governance impedes growth through its effect on the ease of doing business.…”

International Transport Forum Discussion Papers

“…In the metropolitan area of Puebla-Tlaxcala limited coordination between levels of government and the lack of integration between transport and urban development have contributed to the suboptimal siting of some BRT routes (OECD 2013b). To guide a more integrated approach to land use and transport planning, many urban agglomerations have opted to create metropolitan governance bodies (Ahrend et al, 2014;OECD 2015a). This is addressed in more detail in part 3.…”
