Abstract

Using original data concerning organizational choices made by French local authorities awarding their local public services, we show how the spatial dimension may contribute to the debate on public-private partnerships. If geographic agglomeration of private operators may be explain by some search of synergies and cost reduction, it may also be explained by other strategies. Our results show that the spatial distribution of private operators is not random and that the decision to delegate the services to a specific operator is influenced by the choices made by close neighbors. It also appears that this spatial configuration tends to increase the price of water distribution.
