Rising unit costs have been a major source of recent increases in local public expenditures. It is very important for local government to improve productivity in the production of public goods and services. In this study we tried to measure differences in the productivity among cities in Osaka Prefecture and found there were very big productivity gaps among cities. Local government should produce public goods and services in the cheapest possible manner in order to increase the welfare of citizens.
