Growing the Productivity of Government Services
'Carrera and Dunleavy provide a crystal clear and comprehensive account of the complex issues involved in how best to improve the productivity of government services. They offer a nuanced but powerful explanation of productivity puzzles, conundrums and dilemmas in the public sector. But they also offer solutions to many of these problems.

HC 466 - The Government's Productivity Plan
The Government's Productivity Plan was launched in July 2015. The Government considers it to be the "first devoted sign of such a specific commitment to all the issues that are relevant for productivity". We welcome the Government's focus on productivity. When it comes to the success of British businesses and the UK economy, we share the aspiration of the Government that the Plan is a success. That is why our first announced inquiry was into the Plan and we will continue to scrutinise its implementation throughout the Parliament. However we are concerned that the document has been described by many businesses as being too vague and long a document to be practical, and that its lack of specif...
Inter and Intra Government Arrangements for Productivity
Papers originally presented at a 1995 conference concentrate on academic thinking about the applicability of PA concepts to administrative theory building. Emphasizing that Principal Agent (PA) theory is a powerful conceptual framework because of the economic focus on transactions between principals and agents, they discuss issues such as information asymmetry across government constituents, political/diplomatic considerations, and the narrow focus of PA problems.
