Chi, Sae (2018) Developing a methodology for evaluating privately operated toll road projects using stochastic cost-benefit analysis. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology, Australia.
Abstract
The conventional economic assessment of infrastructure projects using Cost-Benefit Analysis does not consider the differences between when the project is delivered by public or private sectors. This research has developed a novel methodology that considers whether the project is delivered publicly or in a partnership with private sector. This means that, for instance, for a toll road project, the methodology assesses whether it is more beneficial to be operated by government agencies or by private toll operator. The methodology can be incorporated in the existing infrastructure project assessment framework and would particularly be useful when project delivery options are considered.

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
