That turnover gives the community a chance to learn, recover, and rebuild, which is beneficial in the long run, driving even more new growth. leonardo.giuffrida@uniroma2.it Topics in Public Procurement November 29, / 33 4/33

90 Dissolving SBSA If the contracting officer determines that none of the bids or proposals are reasonable or none of the bidders or offerors are responsible, he dissolves the set-aside and resolicits without any size restrictions.

This is because most contracting officers do not want to resolicit and, consequently, incur additional delay and administrative expenses. 23/33 leonardo.giuffrida@uniroma2.it Topics in Public Procurement November 29, / 33

91 Denes (1997) Setting: federal dredging contracts The paper: Examinination of the mean values of SBSA bids compared with the mean values of the unrestricted bids.

92 Nakabayashi (2013) Setting: Japanese public construction projects, where approximately half of the procurement budget is set aside for SBs. The Paper: Examination of the extent to which SBSAs increased government procurement costs. Result: 40% of SBs would exit the procurement market if SBSAs were removed. The resulting lack of competition would increase government procurement costs more than it would offset the production cost inefficiency. 25/33 Topics in Public Procurement November 29, / 33

93 Athey, Coey, Levin (2013) Setting: US Forest Service timber auctions The paper: Analysis of a SBSA scheme. Results 1: Their estimates suggest that restricting entry substantially reduces efficiency and revenue, although it increases SB participation.

108 Marion (2007) Setting: highway procurement auctions by the California Department of Transportation The paper: Investigation of the effect of the bid preference program. Results 1: By granting a bid credit to higher-cost bidders, the government loses surplus from lower-cost bidders by awarding contracts to likely higher-cost competitors. Result 2: the preferential treatment increases the competitive pressure exerted by favored bidders. 29/33 leonardo.giuffrida@uniroma2.it Topics in Public Procurement November 29, / 33

109 Krasnokutskaya and Seim (2011) Setting: highway procurement auctions by the California Department of Transportation The paper: Empirical investigation on bid preference programs.

110 Marion (2009) Setting: highway procurement auctions by the California Department of Transportation The paper: investigates the effect of disadvantaged business enterprise subcontractor goals on the winning bids for contracts using California s Proposition 209, which prohibited the consideration of race or gender in awarding state-funded contracts. Result 1: After Proposition 209, prices on state-funded contracts fell by 5.6% relative to federally funded projects, for which preferences still applied. Result 2: Most of the price decline after Proposition 209 resulted from the mix of subcontractors employed, which seems to arise from the higher costs of firms located in high-minority areas. 31/33 leonardo.giuffrida@uniroma2.it Topics in Public Procurement November 29, / 33
