      ab: A study was conducted to examine how political and administrative instability within cities affects the decision to deliver services indirectly. Data were drawn from the International City Management Association's 1988 survey of government service delivery patterns. It is found that in a number of local policy areas, turnover among mayors increases the probability of delivering services externally, that is, through a private contractor, a nonprofit organization, or a different governmental unit. However, turnover among administrators decreases the likelihood of external service delivery for a number of services.
