The present study deals with theoretical and practical problems related to program evaluation. Based on contrasting various public program evaluation approaches it analyzes the virtues and setbacks of economic evaluation and offers indigenous criteria for comprehensive assessment of public programs. At the end, a mathematical model to optimize the public program portfolio related to discrete costs is proposed.

This paper investigates the purposes for overpricing of public procurement for construction works in the Czech Republic. We tested two potential factors influencing final process – the level of competition and the level of transparency. According findings, each additional bid decreases the final price by 2.19%. In reality this means that the chance for cost savings increases with the number of competing suppliers. The final price also depends on the type of procedure. Our recommendation is to organise public tenders for works in manners allowing for the highest possible level of competition, to do as much as possible to motivate potential suppliers for participation.

Public procurement is one of the forms of provision of public goods and services. Empirical studies analysing public procurement show, that one of the weaknesses of public procurement in the Czech Republic is its low transparency and resulting insufficient resistance to corruption. This study defines base for establishment of transparent and corruption free system of public procurement. It specifies conditions for creation of competitive environment, basis for demand driven system of public procurement and gives proposals for interconnection of transparent decision making procedures and the principles of economy, efficiency and effectiveness.

The article is focused on empirical analysis of municipal waste management services in the Czech Republic. Authors have identified the following key factors for public utility efficiency and effectiveness: recycling, competition, form of company ownership, the effects of economies of scale, inter-municipal cooperation, distance to landfill and hybrid organization. The aim of the article is to analyse these factors, and to discuss their relationship to cost efficiency and effectiveness with a focus on the impact of municipality size. Waste management expenditure in municipalities is most influenced by the achievement of economies of scale. Additionally, it was found that if a waste collection company is under public ownership, this has a similarly strong impact on expenditure. Another two important factors associated with cost savings and the management of waste collection companies are inter-municipal cooperation and hybrid organization, which are of equal importance.

The article analyses post-contractual behaviour on a sample of 200 randomly selected public works contracts, awarded in 2013, where it was possible to trace information about the final price. The study looks for factors, which have a statistically significant effect on the ratio between the actually paid price and tendered price. The findings are compared with similar studies in Slovakia. The model identifies a number of bids for a statistically significant indicator having a positive effect on the relationship between the actually paid price and the tendered price. Conversely, the ratio between the estimated and actual tendered amounts, as well as the use of subcontractors is seen as the factors with a negative impact.

The paper examines theoretical and practical issues connected with performance evaluation, performance management and performance financing in public administration, using cases from the Czech Republic and Slovakia to draw conclusions, focusing on the specific environment of the transitional societies. The cases examined are the civil service performance evaluation, performance management in the public administration offices and performance financing of the universities. All selected cases show that the potential of performance evaluation, performance management and performance financing is significantly limited by concrete ways of their implementation and also because of specific environment of the developing democracies. Because of this fact we propose to focus more on the benchmarking, which should serve as more effective tool for given environment.

The article deals with an empiric analysis of behaviour of contracting authorities when tendering public contracts. In the context of theories dealing with rational, imperfectly rational and rationally inattentive behaviour of agents, it tries to describe the problem of avoiding risk by the contracting authorities in further detail. Theories observing behaviour of bureaucracy – no matter how well they are reasoned – mostly meet the problem of empiric verifiability. In this case, the authors try to fill the gap using an empiric analysis where it is worked with real data of public contracts from 2010 – 2014. We can consider the main findings to be the fact that public contracting authorities prefer strategies that are based on a reduction of risk of conflicts with the regulator. These strategies are chosen mainly based on signals of behaviour of central authorities, rather than based on the effort of gaining the most informative strategy. However, the final result is the same. In the authors’ opinion, the aversion to risk by the contracting authorities, which is enforced by the public policy in this field, plays the major role.
