“…Regarding changes in the supply mode of public housing, it is difficult for the government as a single subject to achieve the supply of PRH. Some scholars hold that the private sector has financial and professional advantages and can share risks with the public sector, reduce operating costs, introduce competition, increase options, and improve service quality [ 21 , 22 ]. Using nongovernmental resources can create a more flexible structure to quickly adapt to rapidly changing environments [ 23 ].…”

With the advancement of urbanisation, the inflow of population in China’s large cities has been increasing and the demand for rental housing of “new citizens” with insufficient housing affordability has become increasingly strong. Therefore, the Chinese government proposes to provide government-subsidized rental housing (GSRH) different from public rental housing. At present, the supply mode of public rental housing in China is mainly government construction and operation, which has the problems of low supply efficiency and low service level. It is critical to explore an efficient supply model in the construction of the GSRH system. Therefore, this study, starting from the three supply subjects of government, market, and society, constructs an evolutionary game model and uses agent-based modelling simulation to explore how multisubjects achieve optimal collaboration in the supply process of GSRH. The results are as follows: First, the development of a collaborative supply system includes four stages: noncooperative behaviour, collaborative exploration, collaborative game, and three-subject collaborative supply. Second, the government is the core of realising multisubject coordination. Increasing government supervision will boost market participation, while increasing government subsidies can fully mobilise the enthusiasm of social subjects but cannot continuously improve the market’s enthusiasm. Third, increasing the participation ratio of social subjects will help mobilise the enthusiasm of other subjects to participate, while the excessive participation ratio of market subjects may cause an imbalance in the collaborative supply system. This study provides theoretical support for the efficient supply of GSRH.

“…At present, public transport tendering and contracting is used mainly in public passenger road transport. Many authors researched how competitive tendering in the public transport by road affect this segment of transport in term of costs, economic efficiency, quality of services and other aspects such as Hensher and Stanley (2003), Rojo et al (2015), Kavanagh (2016), Valkama et al (2018), Iossa and Waterson (2019), etc. There are a few studies that deals with rail passenger transport under public service obligations. Wegelin and von Arx (2016) dealt with addressing the transaction costs of different governance forms in regional public rail transport by comparing Germany's competitive contract awarding model with Switzerland's direct contract awarding model.…”

Sustainable rail transport is an important aim within European transport policy. One way to achieve this is to open-up the rail passenger market to competition. The White paper 2011 of the European Commission (EC) stated that: a competitive and resource efficient transport system presents the need towards opening domestic rail passenger market to competition, including the mandatory award of public service contracts through competitive tendering as a first initiative within the single European transport area. The open access to competition is realised by two different approaches in many European countries; 1) as a public service provision through public tender and 2) on a commercial basis-though open access. Markets for domestic rail passenger services through public tenders have not been opened in many EU countries. The study looks at the rail passenger transport market situation in selected European countries (Austria, Italy, Hungary, Germany, etc.) and places a particular focus on the transport market situation in Slovak Republic. It describes different mechanisms to realise public tenders for the operation of rail passenger transport services under Public Service Obligation (PSO), analysis process of public tenders in the Slovak Republic, quantifies the risk of unsuccessful public tenders and suggest the criteria to achieve successful public tenders for providing rail passenger transport services under PSO.

“…Because of the involvement of non-governmental actors, western terms of 'marketization' and 'civic participation' emerged as key themes in Chinese policy language. 'Marketization' refers to the adoption of market mechanisms to provide PRH by involving the private actor to introduce competition and increase choice (Valkama et al, 2018). 'Civic participation' means that, in addition to government, individuals, groups and organisations have the chance to participate in making decisions to influence PRH provision (Huber, 2011).…”
