CYCLES AND DYNAMIC EFFICIENCY OF SOLID WASTE SERVICE PROVIDERS IN BRAZIL
Political cycles. Efficiency. Dynamic network DEA. Municipal solid waste. Brazil.
Understood as a natural product generated by society, the generation of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) has raised concerns and discussions of global interest, in order to seek technically effective solutions. Whether due to environmental, social or economic impacts, inadequate management of MSW is one of the main reasons for the emergence of the problem. In the field of efficiency, combined with the influence of external factors, such as election years, this study, in the light of the theory of political cycles ,aims to analyze the effects of political cycles on the efficiency of Brazilian solid waste operators. For the execution of the study, the analysis will be divided into two stages. The first stage consists of the application of dynamic network data envelorder analysis, which aims to structure and calculate operators' efficiencies indicators using operational and economic-financial information divisions, comprising the period 2010 - 2019. The second stage consists of identifying effects of political cycles and other variables (political capital, population density, per capita income, transfers and region) on operator efficiency, using econometric modeling. This study becomes relevant because it can help in understanding effective policies, especially in developing countries. It meets originality, because it constructs analysis with specific characteristics for Brazil, besides not being found similar studies after systematic review.
