Temporal and Spatial Evolution of Public–Private Partnership (PPP) Project Risks in China: 2003–2019 by Yanwei Wang, Lili Gong, Shanfeng Zheng, Xiaoqing Han, Jiajin Zhang, Yi Huang

“…This study yielded the following five results: (1) the average risk level of China’s PPP projects is 0.722, with a decreasing trend of fluctuation and relatively stable risk; (2) high-risk provinces for PPP projects decrease, medium-risk provinces increase; (3) the spatial variability of risk is increasing, and the spatial differentiation is significant, showing a spatial evolution pattern of “west > central > east,” but areas with low-risk values are clearly migrating to the east; (4) the spatial distribution pattern of risk has a north-easterly orientation, with a “north-west to north-east” trend in the path of movement; (5) There are differences in the spatial distribution patterns in the east–west and north–south directions, and the spatial spillover effect is not obvious. …”
