Abstract

This chapter reviews the empirical literature on the determinants of private participation in infrastructure investments and presents a more detailed discussion of the political, institutional, and governance determinants. It also identifies areas in which additional efforts are required if the private sector were to play a larger role in financing infrastructure development in emerging markets and developing economies.
