Abstract

This paper is based on the analysis of competitive environment in waste management in the South Moravian Region and its impact on current municipal expenditures. The paper presents the changes in the development of the municipal waste management and more specifically in the municipal solid waste expenditure per capita of the municipalities from South Moravia Region in the Czech Republic. The main goal of this paper is to examine the impact of competitive environment on the expenditure efficiency. We assume that spatial aspect of competitive environment has significant infl uence on the expenditure. This hypothesis was based on results of research rejected. The paper compares expenditure per capita for several municipality size groups and the data are also analysed separately for the each of the 7 districts of South Moravia Region in order to identify any significant differences in the development between the districts within the region. The period of the analysis covers 5 years from 2007 to 2011 and the sample consists of all 673 South Moravian municipalities.
