A Database of World Infrastructure Stocks , 1950 – 95
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes an annual database of physical infrastructure stocks for a cross section of 152 countries for the period 1950–95. The database contains six measures: kilometers of road, of paved road, and of railway line; number of telephones and telephone main lines, and kw of electricity generating capacity. Some measures of infrastructure quality are also included. The paper then relates infrastructure stocks to country population, GDP per capita, land area, and urbanization rate, and looks at the relationship between infrastructure and economic growth.
