• Resumen

  • El presente trabajo propone un nuevo método para obtener una evaluación a largo plazo de la eficiencia mediante la estimación de fronteras parciales robustas orden-m, aplicando fronteras globales y fronteras locales. La aplicación al servicio de recogida de residuos para el período (2002-2010) permite obtener indicadores de eficiencia que no varían en función del año analizado, mejorando la toma de decisiones en relación con la elección de las formas de gestión de los servicios públicos. Los resultados sugieren el uso de fórmulas privatizadas para los ayuntamientos de mayor tamaño, y de fórmulas de cooperación para los ayuntamientos de menor tamaño.
