AbstractThe use of public works programs to combat economic recessions is a recurring issue. In this paper we conducted an empirical analysis covering 160 countries (out of which 43 were retained) over 30 years, to determine to what extent it has been possible in the past to deploy PPPs as part of a wider countercyclical policy. The main criterion used in the analyses performed is the comparison between numbers and values of PPP projects reaching financial close during recessions and those outside a recession. The results are disappointing: only a handful of European countries have been successful. The only sensible approach, that works only in some developed nations, would be increasing the number of PPP projects while maintaining project size. This research contributes to the understanding of PPP adoption during economic recessions, sheds light on the different strategies of developed and developing countries, and emphasizes the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing countercyclical PPP policies. These insights can inform policymakers, practitioners, and researchers in their decision-making processes and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of PPP project procurement and management.Keywords: Public-Private PartnershipsPPPcountercyclicalrecessioneconomic crisis Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

Abstract Self-help housing is the main route to homeownership acquisition in most developing countries, and it continues to make yearly contribution to these nations’ housing stocks. However, it faces several challenges like; escalating building materials prices, access to land and inadequate housing financing; which affects its affordability. Therefore, this paper aims to identify the key determinants influencing its affordability. Delphi was employed to validate the determinants, with 26 experts selected from Ghana’s housing sector. The experts’ responses were analyzed using various statistical tools. First, mean score was used to rank the determinants, while median and interquartile deviation (IQD) were used to measure consensus on each determinant. Lastly, Kendall’s coefficient of concordance and Chi-square were used to measure respectively, the agreement and consistency among the experts across the rounds. Strong consensus was reached on twenty-eight determinants after the second round. The determinants like income, savings, land cost, building materials cost, and labour and transposition costs were ranked as highest to have influence on its affordability. The outcome of the study will facilitate the development of an appropriate model for measuring its affordability at the household level. Besides, it could engender housing policy for its faster delivery in Ghana.
