Kurt Houlberg

Kurt Houlberg's work covers a broad field within municipal economy, management and evaluation. His work specifically covers the analysis of development and variations in local expenditure needs, economies of scale and prioritisation within expenditure policy. A core element of such analysis is comparision between municipalities, focusing on the interplay between local conditions on the one hand and financial management, service and results on the other. In addition, Kurt Houlberg has a particular interest in the financial balances of the new municipalities, their budget compliance and realization of potential economies of scale. In the field of evaluation Kurt Houlberg has a broad knowledge and experience of both theoretical and methodological evaluation , but he has concentrated on impact evaluation, and the development of quality and performance indicators.
