Public Private Partnerships for Transport Infrastructure: Renegotiations, how to approach them and economic outcomesWashington, D.C., USA, 27-28 October 2014 Chair Michael Burnett, European Institute of Public Administration, Maastricht, Neherlands Summary and Conclusions ![]() Dejan MAKOVSEK and Stephen PERKINS, International Transport Forum,Paris, France and Bjorn HASSELGREN, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Discussion Paper No 2014-25, January 2015 Go to Discussion Paper ![]() Chair's video summary Scope PPPs are complex financing structures involving substantial transaction costs, with the legal documentation alone often consisting of several hundred pages. Despite the care taken in preparing PPPs, renegotiation is a common occurrence and can have an impact on value for money. It is not clear, however, whether this reflects the impossibility of any contract to foresee every eventuality or is usually the result of more mundane explanations. The Roundtable will aim to review the outcomes and risks most often associated with renegotiation in practice, the alternatives available for addressing uncertainty and incompleteness in contracts, elements for maximizing the chances of renegotiation delivering net welfare benefits and the economic welfare impacts where termination and bankruptcy is preferred to renegotiation.
