“…The data were analyzed with QCA (Gerrits & Verweij, 2018). QCA is a case-based method that helps to systematically and transparently analyze how different configurations of conditions—in the present article: procurement result, consortium composition, and public project management—are associated with the outcome of interest (in this article: innovation).…”

“…Preferably, criteria external to the data at hand are used to determine the set membership categories. If these are not available, a cluster analysis can be used to distinguish the groups of cases (Gerrits & Verweij, 2018). Calibration is an iterative process between theoretical expectations and the empirical data and should hence be discussed in detail (Gerrits & Verweij, 2018); it results in a calibrated data matrix (see the section “Calibration Rules and Calibrated Data”).…”

“…The second step is the transformation of the calibrated data matrix into the truth table, which sorts the cases across the logically possible combinations of conditions (i.e., the logically possible configurations; Gerrits & Verweij, 2018). Each truth table row represents one logically possible configuration.…”

“…Because the size of the truth table increases exponentially with each condition that is added, limited diversity may occur (Schneider & Wagemann, 2012). Limited diversity is expressed as truth table rows without any cases, which are consequently not included in the minimization, leading to a more complex solution formula (see e.g., Gerrits & Verweij, 2018). To curtail limited diversity, analyses were conducted separately for the different management roles (see the section “Analysis and Results”).…”

“…QCA is a relatively novel method in research on PPPs (e.g., Kort, Verweij, & Klijn, 2016; Soecipto & Verhoest, 2018; Verweij, 2015). It is highly suitable for systematically analyzing a small or medium number of cases and its configurational nature allows the researcher to explore how conditions together are associated with a certain outcome of interest (Berg-Schlosser, De Meur, Rihoux, & Ragin, 2009; Gerrits & Verweij, 2018). The section “Analysis and Results” provides the analysis and the results.…”

By transferring risks and responsibilities to the private sector, governments hope that public–private partnerships (PPPs) bring about innovations in transport infrastructure development. Taking the position that a PPP is not equal to outsourcing, this article explores the role of the public partner in innovation in infrastructure PPPs. To this purpose, nine Design-Build-Finance-Maintain (DBFM) projects in Dutch transport infrastructure development were systematically analyzed with qualitative comparative analysis (QCA). The results show that the presence of innovation is associated with multiple, nonexclusive combinations of three conditions: the procurement result of the partnership contract, the composition of the private construction consortium, and the project management by the public partner (i.e., stakeholder management, technical management, and contract management). In particular, the public partner’s choice to enter into a PPP with a construction consortium consisting of a small number of firms is associated with innovation.

Adaptive governance describes the purposeful collective actions to resist, adapt, or transform when faced with shocks. As governments are reluctant to intervene in informal settlements, community based organisations (CBOs) self‐organize and take the lead. This study explores under what conditions CBOs in Mathare informal settlement, Nairobi initiate and sustain resilience activities during Covid‐19. Study findings show that CBOs engage in multiple resilience activities, varying from maladaptive and unsustainable to adaptive, and transformative. Two conditions enable CBOs to initiate resilience activities: bonding within the community and coordination with other actors. To sustain these activities over 2.5 years of Covid‐19, CBOs also require leadership, resources, organisational capacity, and network capacity. The same conditions appear to enable CBOs to engage in transformative activities. However, CBOs cannot transform urban systems on their own. An additional condition, not met in Mathare, is that governments, NGOs, and donor agencies facilitate, support, and build community capacities.

The cost-benefit analysis (CBA) is a widely used approach for the appraisal of transport projects, but criticisms on it have led to the development of alternatives such as the BENEFIT approach. This book chapter analyzes three cases of infrastructure investments in port areas in Belgium and the Netherlands, by application of the BENEFIT approach. We find inter alia that differences in country performance on internationally accepted indicators can influence differences in infrastructure investments between countries. Moreover, infrastructure projects with larger revenue-generating possibilities will influence the PPP (public-private partnership) potential of this type of projects in a positive way. Applying different appraisal methods to the same infrastructure project might help to arrive at infrastructure project investment approvals that are well-documented.
