Governments throughout the Asia-Pacific region recognize the catalyzing role of infrastructure investment for sustainable growth. Yet, they are faced with the problem of financing new infrastructure. This book provides the latest evidence on the impact of infrastructure investment on economic and social indicators. Presenting several country studies, the book explains how infrastructure investment can increase output, taxes, trade, and firm productivity. Based on this evidence, the book proposes innovative modes of infrastructure financing. Written by leading international experts in economic analysis of infrastructure, the book is an invaluable source for policy makers to better design infrastructure projects.

Book Description
The three decades of economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region demonstrated to the world that economic prosperity through international trade and investment improves the domestic and international security for all participants. (1) In 1973, the Asia-Pacific region accounted for just 15% of the world's economic output. By 2000, the region's share was 27% of world output when measured on an exchange rate basis. (2) Today, when measured on a purchasing power basis, the Asia-Pacific region is home to the world's second and third largest economies-China and Japan. The region's growth reflects a combination of quantitative and qualitative factors. Also, when growth falters, the mismanagement of these factors is evident. These factors include: (1) Relatively open economies characterized by vigorous trade and investment ties with the United States, Japan, and Europe. (2) High inflows of capital and labor to modern, internationally-oriented sectors. (3) High rates of national saving and aggressive investment in physical and human capital. (4) Stable macroeconomic policies conducive to investment and commercial activity. (5) Pro-market government interventions intended to steer resources into more productive activities. (6) Reliance on cultural factors that value education and a strong work ethic. Trade, investment, and aid are like steel girders in a bridge, buttressing the economies of the Asia-Pacific region and interlocking their common security. (1) Developing Asia produced 20% of the world's total exports in 2000, while the United States exported 13% and Japan produced 8%. (2) Asia-Pacific trade is multi-polar in nature, with neither the United States nor Japan being the single, dominant trade partner of Developing Asia.
