A public sector reform leads to a fundamental change in the relations between a founder and a budgetary institution. The article considers this change from the point of view of the new institutional theory. The author concludes that limits of a budgetary institution as a firm become more defined, the nature of a firm contract changes, transaction expenses of a founder and an institution are essentially increased. Taking into account these conclusions the possibility of reform is evaluated and the option between different institutions’ types is considered.
