Abstract(s)

The continuing reforms of local government systems worldwide, driven by the "New Public Management" movement, have called for innovative systems of measuring (and reporting) performance and have led to the renewal of interest in performance measurment. Despite this, the extent to which performance measurement has taken hold in a meaningful way and impacted the local government of several countries, including Portugal, is still an open question. The objective of this paper is to contribute to filling this void by setting a research agenda for the study of Performance measurement in Portuguese municipalities.
