Background and objectives. Public-private partnership (PPP) is one of the most popular forms of cooperation between the state and business in the world. For Ukraine, PPP is one of the most promising ways to attract investment in the existing state and municipal infrastructure. The Law of Ukraine "On Public-Private Partnership" (2010) allows the implementation of projects in the format of the classic PPP. Most projects involved the development of infrastructure facilities and mining, which is typical for this kind of cooperation between the state and businessMethods. The study used: expert, statistical, comparative, scenario analysis; analysis of empirical data using methods of grouping, generalization, classification methods.Findings. The components of PPP relations are defined, the criteria for the classification of its forms, the essence and economic content of the category "public-private partnership", the features of public-private partnership in the market of road transport services in Ukraine are substantiated. The qualitative analysis of 111 concession projects has allowed to reveal the regularity and to present the variant of possible combination of experts' indications at certain parameters. Mean values and standard deviations of the expert testimonies were determined and distributions of the obtained data array of 111 concession PPP projects were constructed. The definition of the "quality" of expert assessments and evaluation of the effectiveness of 111 PPP projects for the provision of road transport services is formed.Conclusion. The components for public-private partnership in the market of road transport services have been defined: PPP implies a contractual form (agreements, contracts, etc.), in which the rights and obligations of each party are clearly defined; implementation of projects in the market of road transport services implies mutual economic benefit for all project participants through the best interaction, focused on better results for lower cost; public-private partnership is characterized by increased.

The article seeks to provide insights into contemporary research in public-private partnership development in the road transport market. The study reviews a range of world public-private partnership best practices which demonstrate that effective interaction between government and business at different levels (national, subnational and regional) allows to attract and allocate investment resources more effectively, thus contributing to creating new jobs, promoting better infrastructure development and enhancing the overall quality of life in the country. It is argued that among the key factors boosting the public-private partnership market development the most significant is the level of institutionalization. It is also asserted that this factor, in combination with the relevant political environment and the capital market specifics, facilitates building successful partnerships. Moreover, government initiatives together with legal and regulatory interaction frameworks shape solid foundation to encourage further public-private partnership development by gaining positive effects from successful implementation of such partnerships, designing roadmaps and unified standard procedures and processes aimed at simplifying the relationships between the private sector and the government. Apart from the above, it is highlighted that the institutional factor aligned with the government strategic goals affects the formation and legitimation of public-private partnership markets. The study also provides argument that through the models of public-private partnerships the public sector can benefit, in the first place by utilizing resources of private companies, thus fostering further infrastructure development and raising the effectiveness and efficiency of road transport services market. The findings reveal that the purpose of public-private partnership programs institutionalization in the sector of road transport services is to enhance government motivation to attract private investment and offer new road network services based on public-private partnership contracts which will contribute to ensure the quality of road services.

Introduction. The active use of the institution of public-private partnership (PPP) allows us to distinguish PPP from the totality of financial and economic relations between the state and the private sector based on the principles of equality and freedom of PPP participants, stability of the agreement and its flexibility, responsibility of the parties, competitiveness, non-interference, incentive and guarantees, retribution.The research hypothesis. The algorithm for selecting and assessing the effectiveness of projects in the road transport market to select the most effective form of financing with the participation of the state and the private sector will create conditions for attracting private investment in the development of transport infrastructure on the basis of public-private partnership.The purpose of this article is to improve the system of public-private partnership in the market of road transport services.The methodology of the study: expert, statistical, comparative, factor and scenario analysis; empirical data analysis using grouping, generalization methods.Results. An algorithm for selection and evaluation of the efficiency of projects in the sphere of the road service market to select the most effective form of financing with the participation of the state and the private sector has been proposed and tested, in particular: four alternative options for project financing to select the optimal one (state order, life cycle contract (LCС) without extra-budgetary financing, LCС with extra-budgetary financing, concession agreement); clarification of the methodology for evaluation of commercial, socio-economic and budgetary indicators of the road service market.Conclusions. Theoretical provisions developing the methodological basis of public-private partnership were formulated, including: the concept of public-private partnership was defined and its main principles were highlighted; classification of PPP forms and models was proposed taking into account the existing world and national practice; methodological tools for evaluation of PPP projects efficiency were improved.

Introduction. In Ukraine, in conditions of insufficient funding and too slow reforms, an inefficient health care system (HE) has developed, which is not able to fully meet the requirements of the time and overcome such negative factors as low logistics, low staff costs, underdeveloped system health insurance, etc. Goal. The purpose of the article is to specify the concept of PPP in relation to the specifics of the health sector, as well as to clarify the definition of PPP in the field of health. Method (methodology). In the process of research the methods of scientific cognition were used, in particular monographic, bibliosemantic, historical, dialectical, logical generalization, system analysis. Results. The inefficiency of public administration and financing of the health care system has been stated, which creates obstacles to improving the quality of health care. Foreign experience in attracting private investment in the industry, which will create the foundations for improving the level and quality of health care, maintaining social stability, improving citizens' access to health services. It is established that this will also have a positive effect on optimizing public spending and accelerating the reform of the industry as a whole. A new definition of the term "public-private partnership" in the field of health care has been proposed, which can be used for further scientific and practical developments. The necessity of reforming the industry with the use of alternative ways of attracting investments, namely the mechanisms of public-private partnership, is substantiated. It was found that a promising model of PPP in the field of health care can be the implementation of a private partner reconstruction of a state (municipal) medical institution, as well as obtaining the right to operate and maintain the infrastructure of such an institution during the payback period. It was found that the interaction of the state and private business in the field of health care can also be manifested in the participation of private institutions in providing free medical care to the population. Possible options for cooperation between the state and business within the PPP in the field of health care in Ukraine are considered. Priority is given to the development of health infrastructure based on attracting private investment and long-term interaction between the state and business.

This study focuses on a wide range of issues related to the effects of integration process on the development of economic relations, in particular, in the road transport services market. Special emphasis is put on the critical role of integration in contributing to building circular technological supply chains, ensuring sales coordination and management, reducing unit costs and increasing labor productivity. It is argued that the outcome of integration translates into a cohesive economic mechanism which in addition to its integrated elements is characterized by the presence of a core coordination element. The article offers a definition to a public-private partnership phenomenon, identifies its advantages and disadvantages, explores the mechanisms of public-private partnership implementation as well as suggests a toolkit to optimize the partnership functioning for integrated structures. This is a pioneering study that provides a rationale for the need to use several public-private partnership patterns simultaneously together with developing a mechanism for carrying out public-private partnership which is proposed to be consolidated into the mechanism of integrated partnership viewed as the most preferable one to be implemented in the market of road transport services. It has been verified that the integrated partnership pattern provides an opportunity to develop competitive advantages of all its participants. The research findings have enabled to make the following generalizations: the existing partnerships differ in types of arrangements and institutional support; prior to making a decision to launch a specific integrated partnership project, the mechanism of its implementation should be envisaged; to enhance the efficiency of the integrated partnership project implementation, building relevant infrastructure facilities is paramount; the prospects for further integrated partnership project operation assume the utilization of a network mechanism of public-private partnership which best meets the needs and the specifics of the road transport services market.

Road Transport Sector (RTS) is crucial for the people living in rural areas because other modes of transportation are hardly available in these regions. People are basically dependent on road transport services to run their day to day works in rural areas. Assam is a state of India where majority of the population is living in rural areas. The state comprises different geographical locations such as remotest of the remote locations, flood affected areas etc. and on the other hand, other modes of transportation such as trains, flights etc. are not adequately available in all places of the state. Thus, road transport plays a crucial role in moving goods and services in the state. So far as the welfare states are concerned, Public Road Transport Corporations (PRTCs) play a major role in delivering bus services to the people so all sections of the people can travel comfort journey at reasonable prices. Assam State Transport Corporation (ASTC) is only the Public Sector Road Transport Corporation (PSRTC) in Assam which provides bus services to the people of the state and in its connected regions. Here, the present study has been made to understand the status of services provided to the people living in rural areas of Assam under ASTC. Total 100 respondents from the group of passengers travelled by ASTC’s buses (Lakhimpur Division) have been purposively contacted for collecting primary data and the data collected from passengers would help to understand the availability/unavailability and the quality of services provided by ASTC to the passengers. Apart from the passengers, 8 ASTC’s officials (four from each station) and 2 higher officials from ASTC’s headquarters have been interviewed to understand the challenges faced by them in operating buses. Based on the collected data, the study finds that the corporation has failed to provide quality services to the passengers in many regards. The findings of the study highlight unavailability of push back system in seats in many buses, absence of a/c connections in buses allotted to rural areas, unhygienic bus stations etc. The study also reveals that service delivery is affected by the problems which are related to operation of buses such as rigid official procedures, financial deficiency, dissatisfaction of employees etc. Based on the findings, the study suggests concerned authority to take necessary steps to improve the quality of services regarding different aspects and to introducing such rules and regulations wherein employees feel comfort to discharge their duties. The study also suggests concerned authority to keeping proper surveillance over the properties of ASTC, focusing on proper maintenance of buses and bus stations etc.

The development of public-private partnership in the Russian economy is conditioned on the need to ensure stable economic growth and improve the quality of life of the population. Imperfection of the regulatory legislation of the private-public partnership, lack of clearly defined terms and concepts, proportion and strategic importance of private-public partnership projects have predetermined numerous theoretical studies, the results of which confirm the high terminological uncertainty of the characteristics and systematization of models, forms and mechanisms of private-public partnership implementation. The study of the modern conceptual and terminological apparatus of private-public partnership allowed to clarify the concepts of “private-public partnership PPP model”, “organizational and legal form of private-public partnership”, “mechanism of implementation” and their relationship, to justify the criteria of differentiation and to identify the models of organization, participation in capital and contractual model as priority areas of interaction between the state and business within private-public partnership, on the basis of which the organizational and legal forms of partnership and mechanisms of their implementation are systematized. There has been shown the classification of models, forms and mechanisms of private-public partnership; it has been stated that “a weak points” are mechanisms of private-public partnership realization, in terms of detail upkeep and operation order, which is stipulated by lack of imperfection of regulatory documents and methodological recommendations, as well as unique terms of arrangement and realization of a private-public partnership project. It has been recommended to develop realization mechanisms using current legislation and foreign practices, taking into account the Russian economic environment and the nature of a certain private-public partnership project. There have been revealed extra virtues that allow to unify terminological and conceptual apparatus of private-public partnership.

Introduction. The modern world community is experiencing a period of globalization with its undoubted positives and some negatives. Among the positives is the course of humanization, efforts to comprehensively ensure fundamental human rights, as illustrated by the development at the UN level of "Sustainable Development Goals" (hereinafter CSW). This human-oriented document was supported by most countries of the world, including Ukraine. The tasks of the CSB are quite serious, the mechanism of their implementation is determined by domestic specifics. In Ukrainian society, there are several areas of implementation of the CSW: through the involvement of resources of the state apparatus, through the activities of various political forces, through public activity, and so on. The political, legal and ideological tools of providing the CSB are undoubtedly positive. However, in our opinion, economic factors are crucial for their implementation. Among them, one of the most important and realistic is the public-private partnership, which unites the state, the private sector and civil society to solve the most important strategic humanistic tasks. The development of its new forms and the creation of a system of political, legal and social means of support is becoming especially relevant in modern domestic realities. Goal. The purpose of scientific work is to consider the importance of public-private partnership, analysis of its essence, the prerequisites for development; economic and legal characteristics of PPP, its features and humanistic components; elaboration of a generalizing concept; substantiation of the value of PPP in the mechanism of CSW implementation; characteristics of economic positives of PPP for society and business; finding out the main directions of PPP development and means of their provision. Method (methodology). The methodological basis of this scientific research is a system of general scientific and special scientific methods. In particular, the system method allows you to see the main characteristics of PPP in their relationship; the method of comparison illustrates the unity of the strategic purpose of PPP and CSW and their relationship; the dialectical method is necessary for definition of still possible directions and forms of development of PPP; the method of economic analysis reveals the weak and problematic "places" of PPP in modern domestic economic and socio-political realities. Results. According to the results of the study, the importance of the development of public-private partnership for the establishment of CSW in Ukraine is argued. The definition of the concept of "public-private partnership" in the plane of the ideology of the modern social economy is given. Its basic principles are described. Emphasis is placed on the positive significance of public-private partnership, both for society and for business. The main directions and forms of public-private partnership development in the current domestic economic realities are determined. Additional economic and political-legal means of its provision and support are offered.
