Abstract:
This paper examines different ways of assessing the efficiency of the public sector. For the analysis of the public sector efficiency of the Republic of Moldova there were used the indicators of the Millennium Development Goals that reflect economic stabilization and growth, wealth redistribution, allocation of public services, and quality of public administration. For this purpose, the necessary data from the Data Bank of the National Bureau of Statistics were selected. Four groups of indicators were included in the research, starting from poverty reduction, education, gender issues, health and growth rates of Gross Domestic Product. In each group, dependent and independent indicators were determined. And, when estimating the coefficients of behavioral functions, the regression analysis method was applied.
