Although PPP(Public-private partnership) mode has been applied for a long time in infrastructural project, the success rate is not very high. The sustainability of PPP projects is still influenced by many factors. In order to examine the evolutionary stable strategies (ESSs) of social capital, government, and paying consumers, a tripartite evolutionary game model is established in this work. In order to further promote consumer participation, it is necessary to make the assumption that customer oversight and review can have an impact on service prices. The results show: i)The strategy choice of consumer depends on the comparison between supervision cost of consumer and price coefficient for consumer to social capital. ii)Consumer supervision can promote the provision of high-quality services by social capital. iii)The difference between high-quality cost and low-quality cost, subsidy coefficient, price coefficient and supervision cost of consumer are critical factors influencing both evolutionary results and trajectories. This paper also puts forward policy implications for the three stakeholders to promote social capital's high-quality strategy so as to maintain the sustainability of PPP projects.
虽然公私合营(PPP)模式在基础设施项目中已经应用了很长时间,但成功率并不是很高。PPP 项目的可持续性仍然受到许多因素的影响。为了检验社会资本、政府和付费消费者的进化稳定策略(ESS),本文建立了一个三方进化博弈模型。为了进一步促进消费者的参与,假设客户监督和审查可以对服务价格产生影响。研究结果表明:i)消费者的策略选择取决于消费者的监督成本和消费者对社会资本的价格系数之间的比较。ii)消费者监督可以促进社会资本提供高质量的服务。iii)高质量成本与低质量成本、补贴系数、消费者的价格系数和监督成本之间的差异是影响进化结果和轨迹的关键因素。本文还为三方利益相关者提出了政策建议,以促进社会资本采取高质量策略,从而维持 PPP 项目的可持续性。
