A Framework for Analyzing the Ownership, Tenure and Governance Issues for a Proposed International River Crossing

This paper presents a framework for analyzing different Ownership, Tenure and Governance (OTG) strategies for a proposed international river crossing in Detroit, Michigan that constitutes a major trade corridor between the US with Canada. The framework is designed to identify an economic analysis procedure that can be used to test the fiscal consequences of different OTG strategies, including public ownership, private ownership and joint ownership. The authors also demonstrate the application of the procedure with limited data and conclude that the framework is viable and can be used to test the economic consequences of various OTG strategies. Recommendations for future research include procedures to incorporate intangibles; risks/uncertainties associated with future economic outcomes; and various joint ownership scenarios.
