“…The city has historically presented high levels of urban segregation, and a recent urban development strongly influenced by the neoliberal public policies implemented in the country during the 1970s by the military dictatorship ( Fuentes & Rodríguez, 2020 ). This segregation is also influenced by the multiple urban highways splitting the city in some areas ( Vassallo et al, 2020 ) and observed in the socio-economical characteristics of the millions of passengers using the fare-integrated bus and metro services ( Muñoz et al, 2014 ). Once the first case of contagion was detected in Chile, different institutions such as schools, companies and organizations had their activities halted.…”

“…Such concession systems are appropriate for governments to entrust businesses related to public services or public resource management and are widely used in different countries and territories. For instance, concessions are applied to national parks in the United States (Cullinan and Mathews, 1984;Liu et al, 2018), water supply in Spain (Paneque and Beltr an, 2015), highways in Chile (Vassallo et al, 2020) and forest resource management and petroleum extraction in Brazil (Lima and Azevedo-Ramos, 2020;Pereira, 2015). In Macao, concession has been extensively used, particularly for utilities such as water supply, electricity supply, telecommunication services and public transport.…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the problems of the concession system that Macao has long-term adopted to regulate its gaming industry and discuss alternatives.Design/methodology/approach Theoretical reflection was used to provide qualitatively different insights about governmental supervision of the gaming industry.Findings Two options for reform are proposed: (1) replace the concession system with a licensing system that does not restrict the number of concessionaires or the period of concession or (2) adopt a modified form of the concession system that changes the number of concessionaires, period of concessions and methods for selecting concessionaires.Practical implications This study’s results have implications for the Macao government and other gaming jurisdictions in Asia.Originality/value This study provides a comprehensive examination of the concession system for governmental supervision of the gaming industry.

“…The notion of a public-private partnerships approach (henceforth 'PPP') has caught the attention of many interested in the funding of public sector infrastructure projects (Kim and Kwa 2020;Le et al 2020;Nguyen et al 2020;Vassallo et al 2020). Scholars in various disciplines have been increasingly attracted to explore the PPP concept.…”

Set within the context of developing countries, we conduct a state of the art systematic review of project-focused, public-private partnership literature published between 1997 and 2021. The outcome of this review provides critical insight into trends in publication volume over time, types of projects addressed, chosen research methods, major research themes identified and their variances, but also identifies the critical challenges facing PPP projects in developing countries. More specifically, we find that for PPP projects in developing countries, the three most commonly reported challenges were 'Appropriate risk allocation and risk-sharing', 'Political support', and 'The private sector's financial strength'. We also find that in developing countries, factors such as 'Compatibility and complementary skills among key parties', 'Competitive procurement process', 'Democracy', 'Efficient approval processes', 'Favourable legal framework', and 'Transparent and efficient procurement' are contingent problems associated with the use of PPP in construction project delivery. The main contribution of this study resides in the detailed identification, evaluation and classification of the literature. This taxonomy provides a detailed overview and evaluation of existing literature; providing for more comprehensive appreciation of PPP.
