    Pevcin, Primož ; Petkovšek, Veronika, ekonomistka
    Shared municipal services in the context of inter-municipal cooperation are one of the possibilities to achieve economies of scale, the other being privatization. Inter-municipal cooperation and ... shared provision of municipal services create greater efficiency and effectiveness in the provision of such services, while it is easier for municipalities to achieve common goals and solve similar problems. In addition to that, such cooperation can adequately provide public services especially in rural or smaller municipalities where the lack of necessary resources and expertise is often present. Inter-municipal cooperation can also lower transaction costs. The purpose of this paper is to present shared municipal services from an economic perspective. This is reached on the basis of a review of international practices. Secondly, the paper tries to find out what are the possibilities of this type of services% provision in Slovenia, specifically in the context of municipal utilities. Results of the review of international practices will give examples of good practices that could be applied to the Slovenian framework, where relatively small municipalities prevail, and thus enable transforming the existing practices to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the provision of municipal services.
