TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the impact of politicians' tenure in office on the outcomes of public procurement auctions and found that an increase in the mayor's tenure is associated with worse outcomes: fewer bidders per auction, higher cost of procurement, higher probability that the winner is local and repeated auctions.
Abstract: We study the impact of politicians' tenure in office on the outcomes of public procurement. To
this purpose, we match a data set on the politics of Italian municipal governments to a data set on
the procurement auctions they administered. In order to identify a causal relation, we apply two
different identification strategies. First, we compare elections where the incumbent mayor barely
won another term, with elections where the incumbent mayor barely lost and a new mayor took
over. Second, we cross-validate these estimates using a unique quasi-experiment determined by
the introduction of a two-term limit on the mayoral office in March 1993. This reform granted
one potential extra term to mayors appointed before the reform. The main result is that an
increase in the mayor's tenure is associated with ``worse'' outcomes: fewer bidders per auction, a
higher cost of procurement, a higher probability that the winner is local and that the same firm is
awarded repeated auctions. Taken together, our estimates are informative of the possibility that
time in office progressively leads to collusion between government officials and a few favored
local bidders. Other interpretations receive less support in the data

TL;DR: In this article, the authors point out that outsourcing can have unwanted outcomes such as escalating costs, diminishing service levels, and loss of expertise, to name a few (Earl, 1996; Gack, 1994 ; Lacity and Hirschheim, 1993).
Abstract: Risk is inherent to almost any business decision. New product development, capital investments, and implementation of state of the art technology are often used as examples of risky business ventures; while they may lead to major benefits, they may also result in important losses. Outsourcing decisions, and contractual arrangements of the type required by an IT outsourcing deal, are another example of a risky business endeavor. While it can lead to lower costs, economies of scale, access to specialized resources, and new business ventures (Gupta and Gupta, 1992 ; Huff, 1991), outsourcing can have unwanted outcomes such as escalating costs, diminishing service levels, and loss of expertise, to name a few (Earl, 1996; Gack, 1994 ; Lacity and Hirschheim, 1993).
