自上个世纪末以来，西方许多福利国家的政府一直热衷于推动公共服务提供的市场化。这就要求改变这一市场对替代供应商的供求，特别是对许多政府来说，这包括第三部门供应商。本文探讨了英国工党政府试图通过2007年推出的社会企业投资基金（SEIF），促进社会企业在英格兰医疗和社会护理服务市场的供应。本文报告的研究评估SEIF的有效性，采用“变革理论”的方法，借鉴了混合的行政和调查数据，定性访谈和案例研究。研究发现，虽然SEIF在支持组织的启动和发展方面有显着的好处，但其对长期可持续性的贡献更为复杂，因为大多数组织依赖赠款作为主要收入来源，并且无法竞争公共部门合同。这表明，公共投资在这类造市活动中所能发挥的作用可能有限。
Abstract Since the end of the last century governments in many western welfare regimes have been keen to promote the marketisation of public service delivery. This requires changes in the supply of, and demand for, alternative providers in this market, and in particular for many governments this has included third sector providers. This article examines the attempt by the UK Labour government to promote the supply of social enterprises in the market for health and social care services in England, through the Social Enterprise Investment Fund (SEIF), introduced in 2007. The article reports on research evaluating the effectiveness of the SEIF, employing a ‘theories of change’ approach, drawing on a mix of administrative and survey data, qualitative interviews and case studies. The research found that although the SEIF had significant benefits in supporting the start up and growth of organisations, its contribution to their longer-term sustainability was more mixed as most were dependent on grants as a main source of income and were not in a position to compete for public sector contracts. This suggests that there may be limits to the role that public investment can play in such market making.
