Infrastructure in the 21st Century Economy: Volume 3. Data on Federal CapitalStocks and Investment Flows

摘要

The Federal Infrastructure Strategy (FIS) Program is a collaborative interagencystudy facilitated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Institute for Water Resources designed to develop and stimulate implementation of an effective policy for managing and maintaining the nation's public works. This report presents developments in one element of that study, namely an effort to delineate and understand the effects of Federal infrastructure investments on the structure and functioning of the U.S. economy and the overall quality of life. This interim report is a follow-up to a July 1993 publication entitled Infrastructure in the 21st Century Economy: A Review of the Is sues and Outline of a Study of the Impacts of Federal Infrastructure Investments (IWR Report 93-FIS-4). That first report described the beginning of the effort in which the Corps presented a strawman scope of work to three different panels composed of professional economists and other staff from Federal agencies, Congress and academia, and solicited participation in devising a concrete research plan.
