Влияние трансакционных издержек на эффективность контрактов жизненного цикла в государственном секторе

Public private partnership (PPP) has become a very popular type of contracts in recent 20 years. Many countries (such as Great Britain, Italy, France, Netherlands, Turkey, Spain, etc.) successfully apply such contracts in various spheres: • Transport (building roads, bridges, airports, railroads, etc.) • Environment • Health service • Education (schools) • … and so on The total cost of these contracts was over 20000 mln euro in 2013. However, one important issue about these contracts is not clear yet. Many researchers have so far tried to resolve the problem, which one of the contracts is more efficient: traditional public procurement (TPP further) or public private partnership (PPP)? According to various studies (Hodge and Greve, 2009, Kwak et al. 2009, Steven De Schepper 2015), the key issue is the difficulty of estimation of the transaction costs of both types of contracts. The main goal of this work is to improve existing methods of evaluation of PPPs with main focus on transaction costs estimation (both ex-ante and ex-post). Summing up: The objects of research The objects of research are different PPP contracts in Finland, Belgium, UK. The hypothesis of research Transaction costs of PPPs are possible to estimate by comparing actual PPP projects with aggregated (ideal) one. Research objective To improve existing methods of evaluation of PPPs Tasks of research • To specify the model which describes the factors influencing on final cost of PPP projects; provide empirical analysis
