About
Leandro N. Carrera is a leading scholar in public administration and digital government, best known for his groundbreaking work on government productivity and the transformative potential of technology in the public sector. His research fundamentally challenges the long-held assumption that government services experience zero productivity growth, a view embedded in national statistics for decades. In his most-cited paper, "The rise of a robot state? New frontiers for growing the productivity of government services" (2013), Carrera, alongside co-author Patrick Dunleavy, pioneers a novel organizational-level analysis that reveals how digital tools and automation can drive significant efficiency gains in public agencies. This work, which has garnered 2 citations, is part of a broader agenda that redefines how we measure and understand state performance. Carrera’s contributions extend to exploring the implications of "robot states" for policy design, offering a compelling vision for leveraging technology to enhance service delivery while maintaining accountability. His research has influenced debates on e-government and public sector innovation, making him a key voice for students and practitioners seeking to modernize governance.
