Sommario/riassunto

Policy makers often call for increased spending on infrastructure, which can encompass a broad range of investments, from roads and bridges to digital networks that will expand access to high-speed broadband. Some point to the near-term macroeconomic benefits, such as job creation, associated with infrastructure spending; others point to the long-term effects of such spending on productivity and economic growth. 'Economic Analysis and Infrastructure Investment' explores the links between infrastructure investment and economic outcomes,



analyzing key economic issues in the funding and management of infrastructure projects.
