Zhang, X and Liu, J (2022) Incentive mechanism and value-added in PPP projects considering financial institutions' early intervention. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 148(4): 4022001, ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
In public-private partnership (PPP) projects, as the largest funds provider, financial institutions only supervise the cash flow in the project's implementation stage. Since financial institutions are not involved in the project's preliminary planning stage, they have inadequate risk management to projects, leading to adverse effects on the following project's implementation. This paper proposes that financial institutions intervene in PPP projects early, use their resources to make reasonable plans for the project, enhance the identification and control of project risks, and improve the project profitability and successful implementation possibility. Based on the transaction cost theory, this paper constructs the incentive mechanism and value-added Stackelberg game model of PPP projects under the scenario that financial institutions intervene early. Considering financial institutions intervene in PPP early, the government will reduce planning costs and private investors will save financing costs. The results show that financial institutions' early intervention in PPP projects can enhance the government's efforts, private investors' efforts, the government's incentive intensity, and also the project's value-added level. Compared with financial institutions that do not intervene in advance, the entire model can achieve Pareto improvement. This paper is conducive to expanding the application of transaction cost theory in PPP projects. In addition, it can also be conducive to improving the status quo that financial institutions cannot participate in PPP projects in the early stage and promoting the successful implementation of PPP projects.

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
