Despite an increase in governments' demand for private participation in infrastructure, Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have received low engagement from the private sector in the task of bridging infrastructure gaps in emerging markets. Previous literature in the field mainly focuses on the effects of PPPs from the governments' perspective and it is inconclusive in its examination of the advantages and disadvantages of the private sector's participation.

The initial objective of this project was to improve Boards of Education in Indonesia, especially in terms of their selection, recruitment, performance and contribution to educational development. However, after doing preliminary study and field visits, I realized that the initial objective was far too ambitious. It quickly became evident that there was considerable confusion about District Boards of Education and a lack of basic information about how they should contribute to educational decision making.

A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements fog the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Economics Graphical illustration of market equilibrium From Theorem 2 and its corollaries, the income distribution in any equilibrium is divided into J quantiles, with wealthier quantiles living in more preferred—higher x jδ +μ j —districts. In Appendix D, I show that this necessary condition is also sufficient for an assignment rule to be an equilibrium allocation. Here, I use these results to construct possible equilibria under different (δ , J) combinations....

When I saw the plans, my immediate impression was.... unbelievable. I thought this can’t be The Cotswolds.
