In order to assess which variables had a bigger impact, this article presents 3 OLS regressions models. There were several conclusions of which the most important were related to the fiscal variables. The raise of a country Primary Balance of a country spurs the creation of PPP’s. Additionally, the Debt in percentage to GDP of a given country also decreases with this occurrence. This is explained by the accounting gap that PPP’s allows, since the total costs of a given project are divided during the project lifetime and it scan take up to 30 years.
