Abstract
This article elaborates on the emerging concept of social impact bonds (SIB) by investigating the configuration of a SIB in a new empirical setting – Scandinavia. The analysis is based on a single case study of a SIB-development project in Denmark, which constitutes the first attempt to build a social impact bond in the country. The article investigates four elements of the SIB-model: 1) the configuration of roles and responsibilities, 2) service provision, 3) payment structure, and 4) evaluation. The findings show the existence of blurred boundaries between organisational stakeholders within the investigated SIB-programme, indicating a dynamic configuration of roles and responsibilities. Furthermore, both service provision and data collection procedures were conducted in close collaboration with the involved public authorities, implying an interdependent relationship between public authorities and external partners. Thus, the empirical findings indicate a divergence from traditional concepts of social impact bonds – specifically concerning their design and development. Empirical evidence has been collected through interviews, statistical data, and internal documents.

扩展社会影响债券的概念
摘要
本文通过调查新的经验环境——斯堪的纳维亚半岛的社会影响债券(SIB)的配置,详细阐述了新兴的社会影响债券(SIB)概念。该分析基于丹麦 SIB 开发项目的单个案例研究,这是在该国建立社会影响纽带的首次尝试。本文研究了 SIB 模型的四个要素:1)角色和职责的配置,2)服务提供,3)支付结构,以及 4)评估。调查结果表明,在所调查的 SIB 计划中,组织利益相关者之间存在模糊的界限,表明角色和职责的动态配置。此外,服务提供和数据收集程序都是与相关公共当局密切合作进行的,这意味着公共当局和外部合作伙伴之间存在相互依存的关系。因此,实证结果表明与传统的社会影响纽带概念不同——特别是在其设计和开发方面。通过访谈、统计数据和内部文件收集了经验证据。
