Standards for the Distribution of a Subsidized Local Public Service: Indoor Recreation

Author

  • Bramley, Glen

Abstract

Local public services may be provided according to different standards, which give rise to different territorial distributions of resources. The argument is illustrated through an empirical case study of indoor sport and recreation services provided by local authorities in England. Demand (usage), cost, and expenditure models are developed to enable these standards to be applied. The results show that actual expenditure patterns are not a good proxy for any of the other standards; standards relating to usage and efficiency generate greater variance in expenditure need; and the choice of standards may involve significant equity-efficiency trade-offs.
