• Resumen

  • Este artículo examina los factores que influyen en la privatización de los servicios de residuos sólidos y suministro de agua. Se aprovecha la disponibilidad de datos para una muestra de municipios de Aragón para identificar los aspectos de mayor importancia en municipios de pequeña dimensión. Los resultados del análisis empírico muestran que, para ambos servicios, la situación financiera de los municipios influye de forma significativa en la decisión de privatizar de los municipios pequeños, mientras que los aspectos ideológicos no parecen tener importancia. Las motivaciones referidas a los costes varían en función de las características específicas del servicio considerado. En este sentido, la dispersión de los núcleos de población y la cooperación intermunicipal juegan un papel particularmente relevante en municipios de pequeña dimensión.
