本文对水和卫生服务(WSS)的定量研究进行了文献更新，重点是跟踪基准文献。有190项研究使用成本或生产函数来评估WSS公用事业的绩效。这些研究审查：(1)特定国家或地区公用事业的规模、范围或密度经济；(2)所有权对效率的影响；(3)与不同治理制度(包括外部监管)相关的激励措施的存在和力量；以及(4)绩效评估(基准)。此外，本文还介绍了随着时间的推移所采用的定量方法的模式，以及结果中的一些主要趋势。
This paper performs a literature update of quantitative studies of water and sanitation services (WSS), with an emphasis on tracking the benchmarking literature. There are 190 studies which use cost or production functions to evaluate the performance of WSS utilities. The studies examine: (1) the scale, scope or density economies of utilities in a particular country or region; (2) the influence of ownership on efficiency; (3) the existence and power of incentives associated with different governance systems (including external regulation); and (4) performance assessment (benchmarking). In addition, this paper presents patterns regarding quantitative methods adopted over time, as well as some major trends in results.
