However, some issues involving human behavior may be difficult to capture using standard empirical methods.

Infrastructure Privatization Contracts And Their Effects On Governance, Ellen Dannin
Ellen Dannin

Thus, arguments for privatizing infrastructure are (1) to provide money so cash-strapped governments can fix crumbling infrastructure and (2) to shift future financial risk to the private contractor, as well as, of course, the financial rewards.
