Deriving Macroeconomic Benefits from Public–Private Partnerships in Developing Asia
Published By: Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) | Published Date: August, 07 , 2018This paper develops a framework identifying channels through which economic gains can be derived from PPP arrangement. The framework helps derive an empirically tractable specification that examines how PPPs affect the aggregate economy.

But this optimism is conditional, especially on the region’s efforts to further upgrade its technical and institutional capacity to handle complex PPP contracts.
