Abstract

This chapter re-examines the prominent question of what factors determine the variation in uptake of PPP projects by public authorities. Five broad hypotheses concerning the public finances, the performance of the public sector, the predominant economy policies, and the political and economic institutions of the country are taken into consideration. These hypotheses are put to the test in a mixed method design, which comprises a panel analysis on PPP projects in the EU in the period 1990-2008 and a closer inspection of PPP uptake in France and Germany. This form of concurrent triangulation offers us a glimpse at the broad canvas of emergent correlations and patterns whilst being able to inspect causal mechanisms at work. A central finding is that both political veto points and the mode of economic cooperation are central factors affecting the degree to which PPPs are used.
