Abstract

Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) are long-term arrangements in which the private sector usually finances a substantial portion of the project's capital expenditure. In this sense, many consider PPPs as a market-oriented (and thus a conservative or right government) policy. Nevertheless, a review of what has been happening over the past four decades around the world suggests that PPPs are not an ideological policy, since governments of all political orientations (centre, left and right) have adopted them, existing an important relationship between the number of projects they have implemented and the time they have stayed in office. PPPs have reached financial close under governments of all ideologies, and with a similar annual average in number. The average size of PPP projects that reached financial close under left governments is however smaller.

Project objectives

El presente estudio tiene como objetivos analizar la adopción de las asociaciones público-privadas (PPPs) por gobiernos de distintas orientaciones políticas, evaluar la relación entre el número de proyectos implementados y la duración en el cargo de los gobiernos, determinar si las PPPs pueden considerarse una política ideológica o transversal, caracterizar la distribución del cierre financiero de proyectos PPP según la ideología gubernamental, y comparar el tamaño promedio de los proyectos PPP financiados bajo gobiernos de izquierda frente a los de otras orientaciones políticas.

Most relevant results

Los resultados más relevantes del estudio muestran que las asociaciones público-privadas (PPPs) no se asocian exclusivamente a una orientación ideológica específica. En primer lugar, gobiernos de centro, izquierda y derecha han adoptado PPPs a lo largo de las últimas cuatro décadas. En segundo lugar, existe una relación significativa entre el número de proyectos implementados y el tiempo que los gobiernos han permanecido en el poder. En tercer lugar, el número promedio anual de proyectos que alcanzaron cierre financiero es similar entre gobiernos de todas las ideologías. Finalmente, se observa que el tamaño promedio de los proyectos PPP que alcanzaron cierre financiero bajo gobiernos de izquierda es menor en comparación con otros.
