Abstract

ABSTRACT Studies on the productivity effects of infrastructure have produced ambiguous results because of potential inter-sectoral dependencies, non-stationarity and endogeneity issues in estimation. Employing estimators that address these problems, we test the effects of a composite infrastructure index on a panel of industries for four major-Asian economies. Our results indicate positive and sizable long-run effects of infrastructure on productivity for India and China, but not for Japan and S. Korea.
