Public–private partnerships (PPPs) are arrangements between government and private actors with the objective of providing public infrastructure, facilities and services. Three fundamental questions frame the use of PPPs at the local level: What do PPPs look like? What gives rise to the use of PPPs? And, what are the outcomes of PPPs? The articles in this symposium provide insightful answers to these questions. In addition, the symposium contributions identify lines of research that invite further investigation, namely: problems related to the degree of risk transfer; the challenges posed by renegotiation; and evaluation of PPPs’ results.read more

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use an ordered logistic model to empirically examine the factors that explain varying degrees of private involvement in the US water sector through public-private partnerships and find that the risk to private participants regarding cost recovery is an important driver of private participation.
Regulating Concessions of Toll Motorways, An Empirical Study on Fixed vs. Variable Term Contracts
Daniel Sol,Germà Bel i Queralt +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze how well the flexible term would have performed instead of the fixed length actually established, showing that a huge reduction of the term of concession would have dramatically decreased the firm's benefits and the user's overpayment due to the internalization of an unexpected traffic increase.
