The problem of quantifying public goods is one of the most complex problems
related to public choice theory. We argue that the public goods constitute an
isomorphic, socio-economic system which is not a “black box”. The central goal
of the article is to develop a universal methodology for measuring the quantity
and quality of public goods, and the efficiency of their provision in different
sectors of the economy. The authors have applied the developed methodology to
a study of the process of public goods provision in the Polish education sector.
The empirical research bears out the theory that the supply of public goods in the
education sector is determined by the structure of the local budgetary funds used
for that purpose, and not only by the total amount of public spending
