  • Is there any budgetary effect of economic crisis at the local level in Slovenia? [Elektronski vir]
    Pinterič, Uroš
    Economic crisis caused different reactions in different states in the private as well as public sector. Public sector generally implements one of two possibilities. They increased public spending and ... digging hole into budget in order to keep higher demand. Or they declare crisis and started saving public money. In both cases effects were only partial. However, main characteristic in both cases is that any change was only incremental due to fear that their measures might worsen the situation. Under such circumstances also municipalities took different activities in order to overcome decrease of revenues. Due to the fact we will analyse different types of Slovenian municipalities in following aspects: In what extend economic crisis influencedrevenues of municipalities and if and how municipalities responded to lack of usual revenues (by increasing the project financing, by asking for state support, by savings) and if by saving, in which areas savings took place- human resources, social transfers or investment and development projects. Main expectation is that there will be no substantial change in thearea of reforming municipal administration in order to make it more effective. Instead of this we expect reducing the money for civil society organisation, education, social transfers and economy (more or less in this order) while there will be no significant change in municipal expenses (not for salaries and not for material expenses). If this will be proven true, onecan assume that economic crisis in Slovenian case of local government was more appropriate excuse for reducing money for certain social activities and not for reforming local administration in the way to provide services to the citizens more effectively.
