### Summary findings
- PPPs tend to be more common in countries where governments suffer from heavy debt burdens.
- PPPs are more prevalent where aggregate demand and market size are large.
- Macroeconomic stability is essential for PPPs.
- Institutional quality matters: less corruption and effective rule of law are associated with more PPP projects.
- Previous PPP experience in a country is associated with more PPP projects.
- At the industry level, PPP determinants vary depending on:
  - the nature of public infrastructure,
  - capital intensity,
  - technology required.
- Private participation in PPP projects depends on:
  - expected marketability,
  - the technology required,
  - the degree of "impurity" of the goods or services.

### Policy-relevant implications
- Strengthen macroeconomic stability to create an environment conducive to PPPs.
- Improve institutional quality—reduce corruption and reinforce rule of law—to increase PPP activity.
- Build and leverage PPP experience to attract further private participation.
- Consider industry-specific design of PPP arrangements reflecting capital intensity, technology needs, and product/service impurity.
