| Abstract: |
The paper aims to emphasize the relative recent preoccupations of several
European states and even of EU about reducing the administrative costs and
contribution of this process to local and national development, increasing the
GDP etc. Recent appreciations of the European officials reveal estimations
that a reduction by 25% of the administrative costs could lead to an increase
of GDP by 2-3%. Mechanisms of coordination for national policies are already
operational even if their results are not yet visible. Oriented mainly towards
the private sector, the issue of reducing the administrative costs remains
up-to-date also in the public sector. Moreover, even in the context of the
current economic crisis, the reduction of the administrative costs represents
an important resource for financing the development of the public sector at
local level and the macro-economic policies. Therefore, in this context, the
paper comprises: -Synthetic and comparative analyses about the content and
results of the national policies for reducing the administrative costs.
-Considerations concerning the enlargement of the mentioned policies on the
economic and social processes specific for the public sector. -Models to
evaluate the impact of reducing the administrative costs on financing the
public sector, based on input-output analysis materialised through the
production function. -Emphasizing the effects on long term of reducing the
administrative costs and substantiating the policies for financing national or
local governance |
