One could argue, the potential for government to have a positive
impact on the economy, has been widely accepted as a given, by
mainstream economists and United States policy makers. While the
cost of government is typically addressed in terms of budgets,
taxes and expenditures, Coleman uses a survey of economic theory,
empirical studies and governmental reports, in order to offer an
improved rationale when assessing the efficacy of existing and
potential public initiatives. Inspired by Austrian economists,
Coleman identifies and then applies notion of a Production Deficit
to each of the productive economic resources, for the purpose of
developing a complete accounting of the cost of public initiatives.
Delineating Production Deficit from crowding out, opportunity cost
and resource displacement, this manuscript culminates in the
Minimally Acceptable Production Recovery (MAPR) and Public
Efficiency Contribution (PEC) models. These models are intended to
serve as decision making tools for those who may be considering the
reallocation of private industry resources for public use.
