Winata, L E and Gultom, Y M L (2024) The effects of governance on performance: The case of public-private partnership (PPP) toll roads in Indonesia. International Journal of Construction Management, 24(13), pp. 1398-1406. ISSN 1562-3599
Abstract
This article examines how contract model selection shapes PPP governance, which may affect the construction performance of PPP Toll Roads in Indonesia. This study compares the performance of PPP contracts used to build the 49 toll road projects, i.e. the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT), Supported BOT (SBOT) and Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintenance (DBFOM) contracts. Using an Instrumental Variable Two-Stage Least Squares Regression (IV-2SLS) approach, this study discovers that SBOT contracts have lower costs and shorter completion times than BOT contracts due to a better incentive structure, which includes not only various government supports but also stronger control mechanisms in preparation, monitoring and audit. Meanwhile, using an OLS regression, DBFOM contracts have lower costs and shorter completion times than BOT contracts because private firms were able to better internalize externalities and perform better design and monitoring because they were in charge of the planning from the beginning. These findings suggest that the choice of contract has significant effects on the construction performance of PPP and transaction cost minimization is one of the keys to consider in the selection of PPP contract governance, especially to anticipate cost overrun and time delay risks.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
