The efficient management of the available resources in local governments has been a topic of high interest
in the field of public sector. We provide an extensive and comprehensive review of the existing literature on
local governments’ efficiency from a global point of view, covering all articles from 1990 to August 2016. This
paper is the first of two. It covers the basic aspects related to local governments’ efficiency measurement not
taking into account the effect of environmental conditions. First, we show a detailed overview of the studies
investigating public sector efficiency across various countries, comparing the data and samples employed, and
the main results obtained. Second, we describe which techniques have been used for measuring efficiency in
the context of local governments. Third, we summarize the inputs and outputs used. Finally, we discuss some
operative directions and considerations for further research in the field. [-]
