Private Participation in Infrastructure: What Role for Public–Private Partnerships?
To modernise infrastructure, achieve carbon neutrality, and
bolster defence and social services, the European Union must
close an annual investment gap of 750ドル–800 billion. Public–
private partnerships (PPPs) are frequently proposed as a
solution, but their effectiveness is debated. Can they help bridge
the funding shortfall, or do they introduce inefficiencies and
risks related to contract renegotiations?
This report analyses data and literature, develops a theoretical
framework, and conducts empirical assessments to derive key
insights for the effective design and implementation of PPPs.
