N2  - Over the past three decades, public spending on infrastructure, as a share of GDP, has been on the decline worldwide.  Although the link between infrastructure investment and economic growth is not yet fully understood, the quality of infrastructure clearly affects a country's productivity, competitiveness in export markets, and ability to attract foreign investment.  This publication explores the following questions:  Should countries increase public investment in infrastructure?  If the answer is yes, how can they do so in a fiscally responsible manner?  Are public-private partnerships a viable alternative?--Publisher's description
