What is Pricing Of Government Services about?

OVERNMENT enterprises determine prices for a number of goods and services which they sell. Illustrations include postal rates, fares for transit facilities, rates for municipal or federal electric power and water, tolls for the Panama Canal, tolls for bridges and roads, and prices for publications of the Government Printing Office. These services have been sold for many years. Nevertheless, there are available only scattered materials concerning the criteria used by these agencies to determine the prices they charge. Furthermore, there exists no systematic survey of the available material, meager though it is. In recent years, commissions on all levels of government have been organized to investigate the administrative efficiency of government agencies. The recommendations very frequently have included provisions for the more businesslike conduct of government enterprises. Carried over to the field of price determination, such recommendations imply the development of criteria that can rationally and objectively be applied in any given political framework.
