Abstract

In this paper, it is proposed that institutional quality implies integrating ends and means according to how to perform state functions. This integration is illustrated with examples of choice and competition in the provision of services in health and education in Spain. In these areas, there is ongoing controversy about the role of private operators in the provision of public services. The controversy concerns how to balance the goals of equity, efficiency and autonomy. The existing quasi-market system, which employs competition and choice, requires adjustments so that this individualistic approach better contributes to these ends.
