Spatial analysis of technical efficiency in the provision of local public goods: The case of Chilean mining municipalities

Submitted by Cristóbal Vásquez on

Countries with intensive mineral extraction generate resource windfalls for municipalities to improve population's welfare in mining areas. However, this process may be inefficient due to negative incentives inherent in their administration, moving away from the actual objective of these resources. This study analyzes the level of technical efficiency over the provision of public goods, namely public education and well-being in Chilean municipalities using a panel approach.
