Abstract
En 中文
That many public goods and services are coproduced jointly by government agencies (regular producers) together with clients and citizens (consumer producers) represents a fundamental insight, although it has proven a challenge to define coproduction clearly and to study it rigorously. This article argues that viewing coproduction as a causal process, using the device of causal diagrams, can help describe and diagnose coproduction processes more precisely across a variety of services and settings. The proposed approach is demonstrated by applying causal diagrams to some typical public goods and services, including roads, community gardens, traffic safety, education, and policing. A causal approach also helps shed light on the definition of coproduction and its relation to adjacent concepts such as volunteering, participation, co-creation, and collaborative governance. At the conclusion, implications of viewing coproduction as a causal process, and specifically the use of causal diagrams for theory and practice, are outlined.
