Carsten Greve advises the Danish government’s Productivity Commission
Academic Director Carsten Greve has written a background paper with Niels Ejersbo (Associate Professor at University of Southern Denmark) for the Danish government’s Productivity Commission. The background paper focuses on “The Development of Governance in the Public Sector in Denmark” (“Udviklingen i styringen af den offentlige sektor”). The Productivity Commission used the paper for its own report on “Productivity in the Public Sector – Where Are the Problems?” published in June 2013.
The Productivity Commission was established to give expert opinion on how Denmark’s productivity in both the public sector and the private sector can be improved. Carsten Greve and Niels Ejersbo put the governance development in a historical institutional perspective and argue that public sector modernization is a long process that is stable over time, yet have dynamic public management reform initiatives. The 84 pages long background paper (in Danish only so far) can be downloaded for free at the Danish Productivity Commission’s website.
