| Research Abstract |
Our research had the following progress on the basis of the results in 2001. In this fiscal year, 18 different theses have been presented on methods of evaluating external effects of quasi-public service, estimating methods, efficiency of public services, management system of a public sector and methodology of social experiments. This final report is divided to 4 sections, containing 18 chapters.
The first section exemplifies that various questionnaire methods such as Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), Travel Cost Method (TCM), and Conjoint Analysis. Theses methods are not only effective to evaluate external effects of public investment and policy, but also applicable to the area of quasi-public services.
The second section of this report is the analysis of efficiency of public service using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Merits of applying DEA is both treating multi-input and multi-output analysis, taking advantages of existing data. In this section, we have made some case-studies of public bus service, libraries, and fire fighting service.
The third section is consideration of the evaluating system about management of a public sector, especially on budget and social-capital management.
The final section is focused on social experiment as one of the policy evaluation methods. The validities of a social experiment are considered theoretically and empirically. Although the future issues are still remained, we have clarified the methodology to apply for the cases of municipal housing supply in Tokyo and Osaka.
