Abstract
The main objective of the article is to determine, on the example
of the communes of the Małopolska Province, the factors that
affect the efficiency of communal investment expenditures, with
particular emphasis on social participation. In order to achieve
this aim, appropriate two-stage empirical studies were designed.
In the first stage, the efficiency of communal investment expenditure
was determined using the DEA and order-m methods for all
studied local government units. In turn, the second stage of the
empirical study was based on an econometric analysis, which
indicated that the examined efficiency is influenced by the following
factors: location of the commune in the Cracow metropolitan
area, level of communal investment expenditure per capita, intensity
of use of external sources of financing communal investment,
and level of social participation in the commune.
