Foundations of public outsourcing Marcel Boyer
Foundations of public outsourcing Public and private decision makers' conceptions about public-private partnerships have dramatically changed lately New economic theories enable the analysis of organizational or institutional designs in contexts where there exist: –Complex interrelationships between various parties –Incomplete information structures (different parties having private information) –A willingness to enhance performance through organization reforms (coordination and incentives)
The prosperity of a society is based on the quality of its institutions/organizations The prosperity of a society, its efficiency and its capacity to adapt to an ever moving environment is strongly linked: –not only to the quality of human (education) and natural resources –but also to the quality of its institutions. The essential role of institutions and organizations is to: –organize cooperation and coordination of decisions made by large numbers of agents –motivate those economic agents to fully contribute to the mission (value maximizing, goal attainment) of the organizations/institutions –that is, to use the resources and the information at their disposal in the most efficient manner.
Institutional Design PRINCIPAL AGENT Regional Specific Context Techno-economic Characteristics Constraints Information Transaction Administrative and political Performance of institutions Efficiency Equity Imputability Economic Development (regional) Public Monopoly Public-corporate management Delegated Mgt.ConcessionPrivatization Options
Principal-Agent Model Information Asymmetry Divergent Interests OPPORTUNISM
Social Objectives A high performance institutional arrangement achieves in a cost efficient manner the core objectives (adapted to the specific task or project considered): –Efficiency –Equity –Imputability –Regional economic development given the transactional and informational constraints.
Objectives: Efficiency Static and Dynamic Efficiency –Absence of spoilage, minimization of costs –Maximization of social wealth –Standards must be established, respected and verifiable Allocating a resource to its best economic usage. –Long term Investment in: Capacity building, innovation, R&D, quality improvement Eco-efficiency - Global sustainable development
Objectives: Equity and Imputability Equity- user-payer - direct redistribution rather than indirect taxation and subsidies: accessibility but no cross-subsidization - stand alone cost (CORE) Imputability- the protection of the public - open and transparent bidding - incentives for long term decisions (intergenerational equity) - level and extent of political delegation of instruments
Objectives: Economic development (regional) –Knowledge and capability building (core competencies) –Business opportunities and job creation –Efficient provision of business and social services (infrastructure) –Network economies, Economies of scale, Economies of scope
Productive efficiency requires the minimization of costs and the allocation of resources to their best economic usage. Allocative efficiency gains can be made from cost reflective pricing (or tarification). Productive efficiency can be separated from the pricing of public goods and services. Prices can be regulated by an independent regulator through a wide range of regulatory instruments –Ramsey-Boiteux pricing –Price caps for costs control –Global price caps in Networks –Rate of return regulation –Yardstick competition Delegated Management and efficient/optimal pricing
Types of Delegated Management vs. Characteristics Public Service agreements Lease, affermage Franchise, Concessions Privatization short termperpetualRights Limited Extended limitedpartialcompleteextensive Delegation none long termperpetual None Private sector commitment Ownership Financing Risks Operation
Delegated Management and Regulation - base pricing Incentive regulation - cost overruns - productivity gains Cost plus regulation (ROR) Price-cap regulation (RPI - X + Y) Menu of contracts
Incentive power of pricing schemes HIGH POWERED (firms keep all gains from reduction of costs) Fixed fee or fixed price cap Price cap with revisions every N years on the basis of yardstrick performance Price cap with expectation of revisions on the basis of cost Expected (ex-ante) cost + rate of return fixed for multiple years Expected (ex-ante) cost + rate of return revised every year Actual (ex-post) cost + rate of return LOW POWERED (firms keep none of the gains from reduction of costs) Source: adapted from Jones (1994). Examples:
Designing contracts for public-private partnerships: Different clauses different compensation liability & control sharing risk management and sharing cost sharing conflict resolution
Designing contracts for public-private partnerships: Liability and control / Information strict liability strict, joint and several liability extended liability capital structure limited liability incentives for care and diligence
Designing contracts for public-private partneship: Risk management (integrated) * Choosing a risk-return combination risk management ressource management * Sharing risk - risk aversion / tolerance - risk pricing risk return
Delegated Management and Cost Sharing Multiple public - one private partnerships Principles- fairness / equity - coherence - efficiency - cross-subsidies The Shapley-Shubik approach (incremental costs) The sequential cost sharing approach (heterogenous needs and demands)
Designing contracts for public-private partnership: Conflict resolution Inserting the process in the contract Exchanging information / arguments Third party arbitrage Residual rights owner - value and pricing
Choosing partners in public-private partnership: Competitive tendering (public and private) Multiple steps auctions Multiple criteria selection Open bidding rules - participation conditions - open access to information Dynamic incentives and opportunism Contract renewal procedures
Delegated Management and Performance Incentives Principles- informativeness - intensity of incentives - equal compensation - intensity of monitoring - ratchet Benchmarking / Scorecard Auditing process
Role of the public partner (municipal) Core competencies - identifying public needs (broker of citizens interests) - arbitrage between needs - managing contracts for maximal social value creation Time horizon and incentives
The role of the private partner Core competencies - technology use and development - economies of scale and scope - development and export of know-how (human capital) Reputation building: Dynamic incentives and opportunism
Delegated Management of Municipal Services in Canada: The CIRANO Survey # of municipalities surveyed # of questionnaires returned (filled by General Manager) 71 activities in 10 categories For 8 major activities, -questions on the following characteristics: independence, complexity, standardization, uncertainty specificity -questions on the importance of core (field, municipal business) competencies -questions on the definition and verification of performance (cost, quality) -questions on contract renewal procedures stipulated in contracts

Bryan drives the forklift to the ring and raises the pallet up with Kane, above the top rope. Bryan tilts the forks and Kane rolls off into the ring. Bryan climbs up on the forks and steps out onto the pallet. Bryan leads a big "yes!" chant before leaping off with a diving headbutt on Kane. Bryan covers but Kane kicks out at 2. Bryan gets another chant going. Kane sits up and goes for a chokeslam but it's botched. Kane nails it and covers for a 2 count.
Kane grabs a chair and cuts his own throat. Bryan counters a Tombstone on the chair and DDT's Kane for a 2 count. Bryan with chairshots to the back now, several of them. Bryan with the Yes Lock now. Kane breaks the hold and smacks Bryan with a kendo stick. Bryan uses the kendo stick as leverage in the hold. Kane pulls himself out of the ring and breaks the hold. Bryan dives through the ropes but Kane catches him in mid-air and chokeslams him through the announcers table. Kane sets up a regular table at ringside. He pulls out some gasoline from under the ring and soaks the table. Kane lights the table on fire. Kane goes to the apron but Bryan counters and knocks him through the burning table. Crew members immediately spray Kane with fire extinguishers. This sends Kane stumbling into the ring where Bryan nails the flying knee for the win.
Winner: Daniel Bryan
- After the match, Bryan celebrates with his belts. Kane recovers and sends Bryan running. Bryan retreats to the stage and Kane makes it explode. Extreme Rules goes off the air with Kane's music playing as he and Bryan stare each other down.
- The post-show opens with the panel talking about what just happened. Sheamus says Extreme Rules was one of the best pay-per-views he's seen. We see a press conference setting in the back as they wait on Daniel Bryan. Fans leaving the arena start chanting for Sheamus. The panel talks more about Kane and Bryan. - We go backstage for Bryan's post-match press conference. He's asked if this was the most brutal match of his career and how he's feeling. He's thrilled but his body feels horrible. Bryan is asked if it's the same Kane he once tagged with. Bryan says Kane has changed but he's still the same person. Bryan isn't sure if he and Kane are done. He's still upset about Kane putting his hands on Brie. Bryan says the fans are the reason for everything. He thanks them for supporting him. Bryan says he loves to wrestle but he can also fight. Bryan expected the match to be brutal but not that brutal. We go back to the panel.
- The panel talks more about John Cena and Bray Wyatt. We see press conference video of The Wyatt Family. Bray says he came from nothing and has never been anything but tonight he is something. They tip the table over on the way out. We get a look back at The Shield defeating Evolution. We see The Shield at the press conference earlier. Rollins says they are better than everybody and make everyone step their game up. Reigns says they aren't worried about how The Authority will retaliate. They talk more about dominating and what makes them more of a team than Evolution. Rollins said that Orton was soft when he started his career. We go back to the panel for more talk on The Shield. The panel goes over the other matches at Extreme Rules. We get press conference video of Cesaro and Paul Heyman next. Heyman says pretty soon everyone will have a score to settle with Cesaro because there's not one person in the locker room that Cesaro can't beat. Heyman apologizes to Cesaro for subjecting him to this post-match press conference and we go back to the panel. Mathews sends us back to post-match conference video with Zeb and Swagger. Swagger says he isn't jealous of Cesaro. Zeb says they're focused on singles competition but are also still looking for a new partner for Swagger. RVD's post-match presser is next. He says he definitely has unfinished business with Cesaro. RVD says there will be another night and we'll see what happens then. We go back to the panel to talk about Bad News Barrett defeating Big E.
- We get post-match presser footage from Barrett and Big E. The panel wraps it up finally and that's it for the post-show.

Updated: 22/04/17
Stapleton is inside 1m of junction entry 2 Northbound of the M32.
The nearest station to Stapleton is Filton Abbeywood, about 2 miles away. Bristol Airport is 10 miles from Stapleton.
The most convenient hospital is Blackberry Hill Bristol.Q.
Many online and high street property lawyers offer theoretically cheap conveyancing, however extra costs may be added into the terms and conditions. Busy, stressed buyers ignore these terms at their peril. Additional fees needs to be reasonable. They only come into force where your conveyancer must complete unanticipated additional work on your behalf, which could not be anticipated at the start of the process. Applicable disbursements must also be stated on the conveyancing quoteQ.
An integral part of the due diligence for buyers involves the application for searches of Bristol council to confirm conservation area status and the existence of consent for modifications. Should no authority consents be available your solicitor will inform you of all options e.g. getting an indemnity insurance policy or seeking retrospective approval from Bristol local authority.Q.
Crucial to a fast conveyancing transaction is to employing a proactive property lawyer. Consider the following:
Whichever Stapleton parish in which you are purchasing, a conveyancing lawyer might recommend a chancel search. Through some Parochial Church Councils have exercised their right to charge chancel repairs on the current owners of affected property, there is no way to be certain that a parish where repair costs have not been paid before will continue to be free from liability, so indemnity insurance may be advisable even if liability is unlikely.Q.
Stamp Duty Land Tax is usually due on property over £125,000. We firmly advise against any form of stamp duty scheme. These schemes are costly and can be very unlikely to succeed. There have been several government-sponsored schemes, on the other hand, such as relief for buyers in 'disadvantaged areas'. You will be able to confirm your eligibility for any such active initiatives with your solicitor..Q.
Generally speaking, the number of weeks needed to transfer a home will vary. This is dependent on numerous issues affecting the property, such as whether the property is leasehold. Eight to twelve weeks is the industry-wide average, we however drive the process forwards, completing within eight weeks.Q.
We will not charge any extra, hidden charges for standard conveyancing work. It may be that a separate piece of work is also advised, a vesting order, for example, but you will be made aware of any fees relating to this.Q.
An essential part of the legal due diligence process carried out when buying a property involves a conveyancing solicitor making an application for environmental searches that set out some details in relation to Stapleton area flood risk. Furthermore a solicitor in Stapleton may recommend a more detailed (e.g. Homcheck) specialist flood search. A recent check (08-Dec-12) there were no warnings around the Bristol Frome from Stapleton to Bristol Floating Harbour, riverside properties at the Rivers Esk and Irthing

The following guide describes moving costs that may not be obvious to someone when moving on their own or with help of friends. Find out what it would cost you if you move yourself.

Before Move In

Moving Timeline
If you are planning to move, make sure to estimate how much your items are worth. Go one by one through everything and create an inventory list. By knowing the value of your items you will be able to protect yourself from damages.
Estimate the Value of Your Items

If you have issues with someone and want to sue, you will need a litigation lawyer. Litigation lawyers handle the litigation process and understand all of the ins and outs of the courtroom. A litigation lawyer can also help you decide whether your case is appropriate for a lawsuit, or if it might be better handled through the mediation or arbitration process. The litigation lawyer will research the facts that caused the dispute, and analyze them to identify the appropriate law and how it applies. After this preliminary review, the litigation lawyer gives you an analysis of your rights and an estimate of your ability to be successful in court. The litigation lawyer will know the information you need to present in court as well as the process, procedures, and deadlines you must meet to keep your lawsuit on track.

MOSCOW, May 16. /TASS/. Russia's Sports Ministry will decide within the next two days on suing The New York Times, which accused the ministry of implementing a special doping program at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko told TASS on Monday.
The New York Times published an interview last week with ex-head of Moscow anti-doping laboratory Grigory Rodchenkov who claimed that the Russian sports authorities had allegedly prepared a special doping program for national athletes in order to win most of the medals at home Winter Olympics in Sochi in 2014. The ex-doping official said some Russian Olympic gold medalists in Sochi took banned substances.
"We'll take a decision today or tomorrow after the legal service of the Sports Ministry makes a conclusion," Mutko said.
"Such a task has already been assigned to it and several law firms have been involved in the effort. I admit the possibility of filing a lawsuit either from the ministry or from athletes. We'll see," the sports minister said.
According to The New York Times, the names of bobsledder Alexander Zubkov (two gold medals at the 2014 Olympics in two-and four-men bobs), skier Alexander Legkov (the gold medalist in the 50-km race and the silver medalist in the relay race) and skeleton racer Alexander Tretyakov (gold) were allegedly mentioned in that "doping program."
Russian Sports Minister Mutko told TASS on Wednesday that foreign media reports on the allegedly ongoing doping abuse among Russian athletes were part of information attacks on the sports in the country.
"There is nothing surprising for me about it," Mutko said in his Wednesday interview with TASS. "Information attacks against the Russian sports are still under way."
The Russian Olympic team finished the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi in the first place with the overall result of 33 medals (13 gold, 11 silver and 9 bronze medals) surpassing its previous Winter Olympics record of 11 gold medals, set at the 1994 Winter Games in Norway's Lillehammer.
Russian sports has been in the center of doping-related scandals since last year. Starting this year doping control in Russian sports has been exercised by the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) strictly under the supervision of the British anti-doping agency (UKAD).
WADA's Independent Commission published on November 9 last year results of its probe into the activity of the All-Russia Athletics Federation (ARAF), the Moscow anti-doping laboratory, the RUSADA and the Russian Sports Ministry.
The commission accused certain athletes and sports officials of doping abuse and involvement in other activities related to violations of international regulations on performance enhancing substances.
RUSADA and the Moscow anti-doping laboratory subsequently suspended their activities, while WADA's Board of Founders approved the finding of the agency's Independent Commission that RUSADA did not comply with the Code of the international anti-doping organization.

While at the hotel had dinner in the Sports Bar. Enjoyed a nice pesto chicken with vegetables (were cooked nicely - not mushy vegetables as happen in some hotels), enjoyed a beer from a largish selection and my fellow colleague had an excellent burger with sweet-potato fries. Recomend they get coasters or drinks napkins to put under glasses when they serve - less "drippy"...they did not seem to have any. Did have to waive the credit card around a few times to get attention to pay the bill though. Bartender was pleasant and food service was prompt. Would return for business meeting in the bar.

Virtually all production vehicles made after 1981 include a Vehicle Identification Number or VIN that is defined and regulated by the International Organization for Standardization. The VIN is comprised of 15 to 17 digits -- both letters and numbers. The VIN serves two essential purposes: It provides the vehicle with a unique identity, allowing agencies to know its owner history, and it encodes a great deal of information about the cars origin and attributes. Understanding how to read and decode the VIN is a useful skill for any car owner.
Vehicle Origin and Manufacturer
The first three digits of the VIN, when taken together, comprise the ISO World Manufacturer Identifier code. By looking up these digits a person can determine two things: the name of the company that built the vehicle and the nation in which the vehicle was assembled. However, this does not necessarily indicate what the vehicle's make is but rather what corporation is responsible for its production. For example, depending on when it was made a Dodge truck might have a VIN indicating that it was made by Chrysler or Daimler-Chrysler.
Vehicle Model
The remaining digits can be deciphered based on the coding standards that vary from manufacturer to manufacturer but follow the same basic structure. Digits five through seven indicates the vehicle model. Additionally, these numbers indicate the trim level. The trim level designation can be used to find out what features that car had when it left the factory such as leather seats, power windows or anti-lock breaks.
Universal Feature Designations
There are two cases were a digit place always represents the same piece of information regardless of the manufacturer. The fourth digit indicates what type of air bags, if any, are in the vehicle. The eighth digit specifies what type of engine came with the vehicle. The place of these digits is universal, though all manufacturers do not necessarily use similar codes.
Manufacturing Date and Location
The tenth digit is used to specify the year the vehicle was built. Because the ISO system is almost 30 years old, some letters or numbers may indicate more than one possible year of manufacture, although it should be easy to resolve this when put into context. The 11th digit of the VIN represents the manufacturing facility where the vehicle was assembled.
Production Number and Check Digit
The final six digits of the VIN serve as a serial number. For example, if the final digits are 000050 then it can be deduced that the vehicle was the fiftieth of its make and model to be assembled. As an additional security feature to prevent fraud, the ninth digit of the VIN is used to verify the authenticity of the VIN. This is similar to security features common on credit cards that are used to determine whether the card number is valid.
