November 24, 2017 Emerging Issues in Public Service Procurement
Conference « Emerging Issues in Public Procurement »
Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB)
42, avenue Roosevelt, 1050 Brussels
Ground floor, room R42.2.113
November 24, 2017
On behalf of the Bernard Vanommeslaghe chair of ECARES at ULB and the Chaire EPPP of the Sorbonne Business School, we would like to invite you on November 24th, to a half-day workshop to get the opportunity to listen to the presentation of important new insights from research on underestimated or understudied dimensions driving public service delivery performance.
The idea is to focus on what happens to performance when intra-organizational incentives are taken into account and when the authorities assign non-traditional goals to public service providers (e.g. job creation or other social objectives for traditionally excluded populations).
The 3 papers to be presented provide new insights on the use of agency models to assess policy issues and are bound to lead to the identifications of new dimensions of the scope and limits of government intervention. They are also opening the door to new research themes on regulation and public procurement.
