A flexible cost function incorporating public capital infrastructure is estimated for each industry separately using annual time series data for 1961–1995. The effects of public infrastructure on productivity are measured in terms of both cost-saving (dual) and output-augmenting (primal) measures. We also

The Granger bivariate model is used to establish the pattern of causality and the results are interpreted in terms of the three subgroupings of countries with varying rates of public expenditure growth from 1953 to 1982. Bidirectional causality emerges as the dominant pattern, with nineteen out of twenty-four cases revealing strong evidence of causal links between the two variables.
