Utilidade social e eficiência no mutualismo

Utilidade social e eficiência no mutualismo

Abstract

Em Portugal existem condições objectivas para uma maior implantação e desenvolvimento das associações mutualistas, sobretudo de base socioprofissional. Contudo, persistem muitos pontos fracos dentro das organizações existentes e outras barreiras externas que impedem o seu aparecimento e desenvolvimento. Deste modo, escolheram-se e analisaram-se duas problemáticas: a utilidade social e a eficiência. Analisou-se a mais recente literatura e experiências relativas ao conceito, avaliação e medidas da utilidade social, aplicadas às instituições não lucrativas. Mediu-se e analisou-se a eficiência custo duma amostra de associações mutualistas, aplicando o método de fronteira estocástico. Este estudo pretende ser um pequeno contributo, da perspectiva da teoria económica, para um necessário processo de reflexão e acção sobre o presente e o futuro do mutualismo em Portugal.

Nowadays there are important opportunities to the growth and development of the mutualist associations in Portugal, mainly on the social-profissional level. But there is some weaknesses inside those organisations and some external barriers which break its emergency aund development. So, in this work we select and analyse two problems: the social utility and the cost efficiency. We relate the most recent literature and experiences about the concept, evaluation and measures of the social utility, applied to the non-profit organizations. We measure and analyse cost efficiency of a sample of Portuguese mutualist associations using a stochastic frontier approach. This work try to supply a contribution from the sight from the economic theory to a necessary process of thinking and action about the present and the future of the mutualism in Portugal.
