An Impact of Different Regulatory Regimes on the Effectiveness of Public Procurement
Abstract: The reform of budget-sector entities enables us to compare the impact of different types of public procurement regulations in budget and autonomous organizations in Russia. Using the difference-in-differences methodology, we consider public procurements of two national universities in 2011–2012. All procurements of the second university were regulated by the requirements of old law 94FL. Procurements of the first university were regulated by the 94FL until June 2011. Later this university introduced its own Procurements Provision according to the new law 223FL. A comparative analysis of procurements of these organizations enables us to estimate the impact of the different types of regulations on the effectiveness of public procurement.
