Public Services in the Future

In recent years, public services have grown in importance on the political agenda. The proposal to introduce a general cap on profits in the tax-financed service sector has been particularly controversial. This project aimed at producing research that can be used as a basis for decision-making with regard to regulation of the welfare sector.

Public services are also important to study given the long-term challenge of managing their future financing. Innovation and efficiency improvements will be necessary both within public and private service production. Areas of study are management and efficiency differences in service production and market models and forms of competition.
