Due to the lengthy project term and huge project cost, full selfliquidationis rarely possible for major infrastructure projects operated inthe build-operate-transfer (BOT) model. The government thus needs toprovide substantial financial incentive to attract investors, and directgovernment financing of the construction cost is the most effective incentive.In Taiwan, the optimal amount of government financing isusually determined according to the self-liquidation ratio (SLR) of projects.This study proposes two models to determine the optimal financialstructure of the BOT projects; that is, the amount of investment of thegovernment, the investors, and the banker. These models include a twostagenegotiation: government-investor and investor-banker negotiations.The former focuses on the franchise awarded to the investor and theamount of government financing. The latter emphasizes the credit thebanker provides for the investor. Based on the case of the Taiwan HighSpeed Rail (THSR), the optimal financial structure between the governmentand investor is 40.53% and 59.47% respectively; and the optimalfinancial structure between the investor and banker is 27.22% and 72.78%respectively. |
