The main purpose of our research will be to develop u method to measure productivity and quality changes in local govern ment," said team leader Brian Soth, a senior economics major from Beaverton "We selected this area of study because the entire field of public service productivity is such a poorly studied one," added Soth "Several state and local officials, such as state Representative Tony Van Vliet and state Senator Cliff Trow have expressed in terest in our research," he said "We consider the topic to be of value and relevance to anyone interested in local government." The student team will look at productivity on a cost to output basis for groups of similar Oregon cities "F or example, in solid waste collection wy can measure input as the cost of salaries, equipment, lis te r ia is and such," explained Soth, "and output in terms of solid waste collected or some other easily measurable quantity." tlty."
