A changing market for PFI financing: Evidence from the financiers
基于对PFI融资方的问卷调查和高管访谈，研究发现信贷紧缩后银行风险规避增强，但政府干预保护了私人资本在PFI中的角色，其纳税人资金价值待考。
Responses to a questionnaire survey received from PFI financiers, and interviews with senior managers, show that as the credit crunch took hold banks became more risk averse. The prediction of Toms et al. that collusion between the state and the private sector might cease in the face of austerity does not appear to have occurred. Rather the state has intervened to benefit the private sector. We argue that two successive UK Governments intervened in the market to protect the role of private finance in PFIs but whether such interventions represent value for taxpayers’ money is a question for future research.
