GENERAL OBJECTIVES, RESEARCH QUESTIONS AND SCIENTIFIC RELEVANCE

The expansion of the large cities that converge in a region over the decades has allowed for the compacting of a metropolis, in which various municipalities converge that are unified in practice in the provision of public and private services to the population that resides in Therefore, it is a challenge to coordinate, finance and regulate them. This branch of public finance is important in its theorization, study, and analysis in order to understand the implementation of policies that allow the financing of public projects and programs in these cities.

 

The economy evolves in an accelerated way in its new forms of association and presence, both in the physical and digital world, which increases and scales new possibilities of interaction in the provision of services that test their regulation. Therefore, the present study proposal aims to reflect on whether these changes can affect the revolution in the public finances of cities, in a context of metropolis- (big and expansive) urban cities and governance. Some of the main reflections of the document are: Where do we start? What is the status of public finance instruments and their coordination at the subnational level? Public finances in urban areas are sustainable to provide the goods and public services? What fiscal coordination instruments would finance the works and infrastructure of the metropolis in a sustainable manner? Disruptive ideas of financing and capitalization in the private sphere can be viable in urban cities? Where are the finances and coordination of public finances directed?

The main objective from this panel, is discuss during the ICPP 2019 in Montreal about those challenges in the real economy with these new players (sharing economy Startup´s) in market, in urban areas and how the local governments could take those innovations tools. To provide better public and private goods improving citizen´s life.

 

This panel could be an interesting opportunity to discuss this topic with students, academics and practitioners coming from the different contexts and regions around the world.

CALL FOR PAPERS

The main question, is to investigate the viability that identifies trends in the collaborative economy. For example: what happens in the public sector (government), to what challenges this industry faces, will there be the viability of the bureaucracy and top public management for its implementation in some government space or scope of power (municipal, state or federal), to resolve or mitigate any problem to which public policies responds. To Build a collaborative government.

 

It is possible to share and collaborate in the common challenges facing your residents of your geographical area, you can overcome these pitfalls. It is possible to walk a solidary concept in the public sector, or it is only possible to implement the collaborative economy among particular users.

 

In conclusion, the collaborative economy has spaces of expansion in areas such as medicine, science and technology that could trigger the production frontiers, of knowledge with a greater generation of economies of scale of the fragmented initiatives of individuals, forming groups and that transcend communities.
