dc.description.abstract | In this paper we analyse some of the organisational aspects of the urban solid waste collection and, in particular, the privatization modality of contracting out. We start by discussing some of the theoretical aspects of contracting out. We then specify and estimate an explanatory model on a sample of municipalities that we surveyed. Our purpose is twofold: on the one hand, we identify the economic factors at work when deciding to contract out the service and, on the other hand, we analyse the role of ideological factors in choosing between the public production of the service or contracting it out. The results show a significant effect of the demand for waste collection on contracting out. There also appears to be a neighbouring effect as the municipalities close to other cities that contract out are also more prone to do so. Finally, the decisions to contract seem to have been motivated by pragmatic rather than ideological reasons. | eng |

Comencem per parlant d'alguns aspectes teòrics de contracció cap a fora. Llavors especifiquem i estimem un model explicatiu sobre una mostra de municipis que inspeccionem. El nostre objectiu és doble: d'una banda, identificar els factors econòmics en el treball decidint contreure'ns cap a fora el servei i, d'altra, analitzar el paper de factors ideològics en l'elecció entre la producció pública del servei o la contracció d'això cap a fora. | cat |
