Developing a model for Iran for Public-Private Partnership as a modern financing method for infrastructure projects

Implementing the infrastructural projects has so many degrees of importance and a vital role in economic growth and development of the countries. Since governments are aimed to give services more efficiently and with higher quality, they are doing related works and attempts in order to facilitate and accelerate the said projects. Experiences of different countries show that factors such as lack of financial resources, budgetary deficit of the governments for financing big projects and high demand for investing in these projects have lead countries to do their attempts to fulfil partnership of the private sector and make suitable competitive climate for their cooperation. These attempts have result in Public-Private Partnership (PPP) and facilitated the growth and development of the countries. In this study, the relationship between the factors influencing the utilization of PPP in 21 countries during 2000- 2008 using panel data method are studied. The results show that countries’ revenue, economic stability, budget deficit and underground sources are the main factors influencing public private partnerships in the studied countries. Finally, the model for public private partnerships has been generated.
