THE ROLE OF PUBLIC CAPITAL IN THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROCESS |
| |
Abstract: | This paper reviews the evidence of public infrastructure's impact on economic development. The evidence indicates the marginal net social returns is low. The paper also examines the effect of economic, demographic, and political forces on infrastructure investment. Finally, the literature suggests that improving maintenance and reducing congestion can greatly increase the benefits from the existing public capital stock. |
