Abstract
Private investment through revenue bonds has become an important source for public agencies seeking to implement transportation public-private partnerships (P3) projects. It has been a long-standing assumption that private money is available and sufficient compared to a limited number of P3 projects in the pipeline. This assumption, however, remains unsubstantiated. Based on the neo-classic economic prediction that prices go high if demand exceeds supply, this study presents the construction and performance of the P3 bond index to evaluate private capital for P3 projects. The index measures the return of P3 bonds and helps encourage private investment in P3 projects.
