Risk allocation in the Private Provision of public infrastructure
International Journal of Project Management, 2007Co-Authors: A. Ng, Martin LoosemoreAbstract:Communities benefit most from the Private Provision of public infrastructure when project risks are distributed appropriately between Private and public sectors. This is not easy given the technical, legal, political and economic complexity of infrastructure projects and the range of constituencies involved. Too often, risks are under estimated and allocated to parties without the knowledge, resources and capabilities to manage them effectively. The result is increased costs, project delays and services which fail to deliver value-for-money to the community. This paper presents a case study of the controversial $920 million New Southern Railway project in Sydney, Australia. It analyses the rationale behind decisions about risk distributions between public and Private sectors and their consequences. It also demonstrates the complexity and obscurity of risks facing such projects and the difficulties in distributing them appropriately. The paper concludes with a series of recommendations to better manage risks in such projects. © 2006 Elsevier Ltd and IPMA.

Private Provision of environmental public goods household participation in green electricity programs
Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 2007Co-Authors: Matthew J Kotchen, Michael R MooreAbstract:Green-electricity programs provide an opportunity to study Private Provision of public goods in a field setting. The first part of this paper develops a theoretical framework to analyze household decisions about voluntary participation in green-electricity programs. We consider different participation mechanisms and show how they relate to existing theory on either pure or impure public goods. The models are used to examine the implications of participation mechanisms for the level of public-good Provision. The second part of the paper provides an empirical investigation of actual participation decisions in two green- electricity programs: one based on a pure public good and the other based on an impure public good. The data come from original household surveys of participants and nonparticipants in both programs, along with utility data on household electricity consumption. The econometric results are interpreted in the context of the theoretical models and are compared to other studies of Privately provided public goods.

green markets and Private Provision of public goods
Journal of Political Economy, 2006Co-Authors: Matthew J KotchenAbstract:This paper develops a general model of Private Provision of a public good that includes the option to consume an impure public good. The model is used to investigate the positive and normative consequences of "green markets," which are based on technologies with joint production of a Private good and an environmental public good. It is shown that under reasonable conditions green markets can have beneficial or detrimental effects on environmental quality and social welfare. The analysis applies equally to nonenvironmental choice settings, with examples ranging from socially responsible investments to commercial activities associated with charitable fund-raising.

Universal pre-school education: the case of publicfunding with Private Provision
LSE Research Online Documents on Economics, 2020Co-Authors: Jo Blanden, Emilia Del Bono, Sandra Mcnally, Birgitta RabeAbstract:This paper studies the effect of free pre-school education on child outcomes in primary school. We exploit the staggered implementation of free part-time pre-school for three-year-olds across Local Education Authorities in England in the early 2000s. The policy led to small improvements in attainment at age five, with no apparent benefits by age 11. We argue that this is because the expansion of free places largely crowded out Privately paid care, with small changes in total participation, and was achieved through an increase in Private Provision, where quality is lower on average than in the public sector.
