In particular, it is unclear whether, and how, private agents react to governments\u2019 investments. In this study, I analyze such a relationship for the UK, an ideal case study due to the presence of a robust private security sector, but also significant variation in the government provision of this good. Using a novel dataset, I study how different types of employment in private security respond to changes in the number of police officers enrolled in highly visible patrolling activities. Results from this analysis unambiguously show that the private sector is not affected by government spending. Findings are robust to several robustness threats, related to the measurement of both sectors, and the econometric identification.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Title: Private Provision of Public Goods: the case of the UK Private Security Sector Date: 05 October 2022 Time: 13:00-14:00 Location: Zoom Guest Speaker: Matteo&#8230; <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/2022\/09\/21\/economics-research-community-seminar\/\" rel=\"bookmark\"><strong>Read more<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4425,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-14343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-research","tag-research-events"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4425"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14343"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14343\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14383,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14343\/revisions\/14383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/microsites.ncl.ac.uk\/nubsstaffblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
