The impact of enterprises’ status on performance in PPP networks - taking Chinese national demonstration projects as example

Abstract

Based on the demonstration projects from the database of CPPPC, using social network analysis and econometric methods, this paper examines the between enterprises in the networks, and analyzes how an enterprises’ network status affects his performance. The results prove that enterprise’s status in the networks has an impact on performance. Among the three components of status, only betweenness centrality has been confirmed to be significantly affected. And it also has shown that ownership and capital have significant impacts on performance, but seniority and form of participation do not have.
