IntroductionAt the present time there is a clear concern in the developed countries about the improv The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()ement of effectiveness and efficiency in public sector activities. This is a consequence, on the one hand, of the demand of more and better public serThe determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()
vices and on the other hand, of the limitations on public incomes and indebtedness. With respect to the indebtedness in the Spanish public sector, we The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments (*)Authors:Bernardino BenitoDepartment of Accounting Faculty of Economics and Business Univers The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments () future it will be an essential tool in order to evaluate whether public organizations have managed their resources efficiently. At the moment, the following equation applies to public services:Decrease of public incomes + limitations to indebtedness + greater demands of services public = More effic The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()ient management of these public resourcesOnce the need to evaluate the public sector is stated, methodologies for this analysis have been developed. AThe determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()
mong them, we can emphasize the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), as the mathematical technique internationally accepted by the literature. This methodThe determinants of efficiency in municipal governments (*)Authors:Bernardino BenitoDepartment of Accounting Faculty of Economics and Business Univers The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()ement efficiency analysis is essential. In this way. the Spanish Public Administration (IGAE. 1997) has made great efforts in the measurement of objectives achievement (with the development of specialized software). Similar efforts have been developed in other highly developed countries (Australia. The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()Denmark. Finland. Norway. Sweden and Switzerland).In an international scope, it is worth to mention the case of the United States. In this country, GoThe determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()
vernmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) has issued 1 The reader can find it in the following web page: http:/AwA»zigae.meh.es/NR/rdonlyres/BBD74CThe determinants of efficiency in municipal governments (*)Authors:Bernardino BenitoDepartment of Accounting Faculty of Economics and Business Univers The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()ulate and disclose efficiency indicators (Fountain and Roob. 1994: GASB. 1990. 1994). In addition. GASB has promoted the establishment of standardized municipal efficiency Indicators that allow both the comparison between different municipalities and the analysis of the evolution of the efficiency i The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()n one municipality. Likewise, in Spain, the Association of Accounting and Business Management (AECA) issued a document entitled "Management IndicatorsThe determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()
for Public Organizations", becoming a guide for Public Organizations to implement management indicators in order to evaluate effectiveness, economy aThe determinants of efficiency in municipal governments (*)Authors:Bernardino BenitoDepartment of Accounting Faculty of Economics and Business Univers The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()en complemented by another one entitled ’A System of Management Indicators for Municipalities", which describes a list of indicators to be used to evaluate municipal management. Furthermore, it shows a set of rules, characteristics and methodological guidelines to ensure the quality of these indicat The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()ors.Focusing on the Spanish local sector. Andalusian and Catalan municipalities (Navarro. 1998: Ortiz. 2003: Pina and Torres, 1999a; Glménez and PriorThe determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()
. 2000) have already developed efficiency analysis projects.In the Spanish health system (Pina and Torres, 1992 and Garcia et al., 1999) DEA methodoloThe determinants of efficiency in municipal governments (*)Authors:Bernardino BenitoDepartment of Accounting Faculty of Economics and Business Univers The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()improve efficiency levels. These projects have become essential to provide useful information to the political decision making.2 In terms of surface area the Region of Murcia IS the ninth largest of the Spanish autonomous communities and lies at the centre of the Spanish Mediterranean coastal arch.

For example, Navarro (1998), Ortiz (2003) and AECA (2004) develop a battery of useful indicators for several municipal services, such as: police, culture, sports, green areas, housing, fire-fighting services, refuse collection, water supply and cleaning, street li The determinants of efficiency in municipal governments ()ghting, general services and financial, economic and budgetary management.
