Abstract

ABSTRACT This study analyses the relationship between public-private partnerships (PPPs) and corruption. Several econometric analyses were developed using a sample of 92 low- and middle-income countries over the period 1995–2018. There is research in the literature that discusses the theoretical vulnerability of PPPs to corruption, but this study adds empirical evidence, considering that developing countries have more problems with corruption than do other countries. The results suggest that corruption has a positive impact on the number of PPP arrangements and on the amount of investment commitments. This provides evidence of a positive link between corruption and PPP projects.

分析基础设施项目中腐败与公私合作关系之间的联系:发展中国家的实证评估

摘要本研究分析了公私伙伴关系(ppp)与腐败的关系。在1995年至2018年期间，使用92个低收入和中等收入国家的样本进行了几项计量经济学分析。文献中有研究讨论了ppp对腐败的理论脆弱性，但考虑到发展中国家比其他国家存在更多的腐败问题，本研究增加了经验证据。结果表明，腐败对PPP安排的数量和投资承诺的数量有积极影响。这为腐败与PPP项目之间的积极联系提供了证据。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Economic Policy Reform focuses on the analysis of economic policy reform. The journal draws upon what lessons can be learned from the successes and failures of countries undertaking reforms and how existing theories can be developed to shed light on positive as well as normative aspects of the reform process. The Journal of Economic Policy Reform encourages work from economists and political economy analysts on policies to promote growth and reduce poverty, intellectual property rights, aid versus trade, debt and debt relief, taxation and social security systems, surveys of key reform issues, as well as on corruption, democracy, emerging markets and the role of multilateral institutions.
