Here is a new approach to evaluating the link between infrastructure development and economic growth. Unlike most other research of its kind, this paper rates infrastructure services as they benefit the public and the environment. It explains why consumer-responsive services not only improve the quality of life but also generate long-term growth throughout the economy.
