摘要

本文考察了围绕私营部门在提供公路基础设施方面的作用的经济问题和证据。重点是公私合作伙伴关系(ppp)或政府与私营企业之间的长期特许协议。公私合作伙伴关系的支持者呼吁将基础设施建设转移到私营部门,以利用更有效的项目供应,并将项目风险从纳税人转移到投资者身上。来自美国和国外的证据并不一致地支持这一论点,尽管研究范式的局限性使得很大一部分证据的价值有限。与特定项目相关的特殊问题以及政府参与或监督的类型可能会发挥作用。与扩大公私合作伙伴关系在公共投资中的应用有关的另一个问题是特许合同的设计。一些合同需要重新谈判,这扭曲了预先竞标的动机,也扭曲了项目推进后高效生产的动机。为了获得正确的激励,公私合作伙伴关系应该包括竞争性招标,而不是合同重新谈判,以及参与的私营公司在最初投标中高估可能产生的收入或低估成本的破产可能性。

Highway Infrastructure: Issues Concerning Private-Sector Participation
This paper examines the economic issues and evidence surrounding the role of the private sector in providing highway infrastructure. The focus is on public-private partnerships (PPPs) or long-term concession agreements between governments and private firms. PPP proponents have called for shifting infra- structure construction to the private sector to take advantage of more efficient provision of projects and the transfer of project risk from taxpayers to investors. Evidence from the United States and abroad does not consistently support this contention, although limitations in the research paradigms make a significant portion of the evidence of limited value. It is likely that idiosyncratic issues related to a particular project and the type of government involvement or over- sight come into play. Another issue associated with expanding the use of PPPs for public investment is the design of concession contracts. Some contracts are renegotiated, distorting incentives for bidding up front and for efficient production once the project moves forward. To get the incentives right, PPPs should involve competitive bidding, no contract renegotiation, and the potential for bankruptcy for participating private firms who overestimate the revenues that can be generated or underestimate the costs in their initial bids.
