This article examines the determinants of contracting out among cities in the United States. A precondition to contracting out is the expected realization of the cost savings from external production as a result of scale economies and/or increased competition in the supply of public services. Yet, whether or not a city chooses external production depends on the fiscal pressures within the city and the political impediments. This model of the decision to contract out is examined using a sample of 433 cities. The percentage of publicly provided services that are externally produced is found to increase with (1) greater cost savings, (2) more stringent fiscal conditions, and (3) less powerful public service constituency groups.

Section 221 of Public Law 95-507 mandates that the head of each federal agency, after consultation with the Small Business Administration, establish realistic goals for each fiscal year for the award of agency contracts to socioeconomically disadvantaged businesses. This requirement currently represents one of approximately 50 separate federal socioeconomic programs that utilize the federal contracting process as the principal implementing mechanism. Through multiple regression analysis this article concludes that the mandatory goal-setting procedure has had no statistically significant positive effect in increasing federal contract dollars to minority businesses.
