Abstract

Implicit and explicit risks implied in contracts are allocated optimally if the risk-taker is always the party who can manage risk at the lowest cost. This principle shall apply even if one of the parties work in the public sector, and the other in the private sector. As risk-attitude of contacting partners is of vital importance in risk-sharing, this paper reviews the key factors influencing risk attitude of governmental organizations and their leaders, government officials elected or appointed for a cycle, and business organizations and their managers. Factors resulting in non-optimized risk allocation are discussed in detail, for example, public sector bureaucrats elected for a cycle focus on outputs of great public interest and tend to discount targets to be realized after the election cycle, and therefore projects more risk appetite than previously assumed. In business organizations principal-agent relationship and lack of entrepreneurial orientation are key factors, whose significance increase in proportion to the size of business and make companies more risk-averse. Short-term contracts, partnership of small-scale businesses, or if there is too much at stake (e.g. a large value bids) for the scale of a company give less space for such distorting factors, and reduce the possibility of risk allocation detrimental to the public sector.
