Modelo de asociación pública-privada: un enfoque de teoría de contratos

Author

  • Carlos Alberto Barreto Nieto

Abstract

En los contratos de construcción de infraestructura de servicios públicos, el sector privado tiene fuertes incentivos para reducir los costos durante la vida del proyecto, lo que afecta la calidad de la prestación. En este trabajo se extiende el modelo de Hart para evaluar las ventajas de la asociación pública privada, examinando diferentes tipos de propiedad e introduciendo un mecanismo simple de renegociación. El ejercicio indica que la participación del gobierno no se justifica por su capacidad para hacer innovaciones en calidad, sino porque internaliza los costos y beneficios de la inversión en reducción de costos que realiza el sector privado.
