Public-Private Partnerships for Transport Infrastructure: Renegotiations, How to Approach them and Economic Outcomes. Roundtable Summary and Conclusions
PPPs for Transport Infrastructure: Renegotiations, How to Approach them and Economic Outcomes - Roundtable Summary and Conclusions
By Dejan Makovsek, Stephen Perkins and Bjorn Hasselgren, International Transport Forum at the Organization for Economic Co-Operation and Development (OECD) Discussion Paper No 2014-25, January 2015.
