Abstract

To address a growing number of risk misallocation issues amongst stakeholders, this study explored critical factors that influence risk misallocation from a cross-stakeholder perspective. Based on the framework of risk management, the Sponge City Program, in Guyuan City (China), was taken as a case study. The checklist of risk identification was employed to screen and rank the overall project risks, and risk assessment was conducted via a structured questionnaire survey. Logistic regression analysis was adopted to investigate the causes of the misallocation between risk control capability and willingness to take risks for both public and private stakeholders. The findings indicated that public stakeholders were more likely to be affected by information asymmetry, and contract negotiation ability; while risk misallocation for the private stakeholders tended to be affected by market policy, information asymmetry, contract negotiation ability, and financing ability. This insight can inform future studies on risk allocation in PPP water projects for public and private stakeholders to optimize the decision-making process.
