摘要
The aim of this paper is to analyse the role of public capital, the types of infrastructures in which it is invested and their territorial distribution in the gains in productivity of the private sector in the Spanish regions in the period 1964-91 using panel data techniques to control for unobserved state specific characteristics. The results obtained show how the infrastructures most directly linked to the productive process present a significant and positive effect on productivity. They also show the importance of the network effect of the infrastructures of a productive nature as well as a decrease in the elasticity associated with such infrastructures as development progresses.
