Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineers argue that inadequate maintenance of roads, bridges, airports, waterways, and other critical aspects of infrastructure along with underinvestment have created an infrastructure crisis in the United States. Many politicians agree with this claim and are attempting to take action. However, we are faced with the issue of which projects are most essential and how to fund them. Is the state of America's infrastructure that dire compared to the rest of the world? Are these efforts to improve it a cynical ploy from politicians to gain attention and ensure reelection? This volume considers the many perspectives of this pressing issue.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infrastructure and its effects on economic growth, social welfare, and sustainability receive a great deal of attention today. There is widespread agreement that infrastructure is a key dimension of global development and that its impact reaches deep into the broader economy with important and multifaceted implications for social progress. At the same time, infrastructure finance is among the most complex and challenging areas in the global financial architecture. Ingo Walter, Professor Emeritus of Finance, Corporate Governance and Ethics at the Stern School of Business, New York University, and his team of experts tackle the issue by focussing on key findings backed by serious theoretical and empirical research. The result is a set of viable guideposts for researchers, policy-makers, students and anybody interested in the varied challenges of the contemporary economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's infrastructure is the backbone of its economy. However, today America's infrastructure is woefully underfunded and its condition is severely deteriorated and degraded. Given the significant amount of public infrastructure spending and the widely expressed concern about the declinging quality of the American public infrastructure system, research about the efficiency and effectiveness of public infrustructure investment is especially timely and crucial. In response to the current American infrastructure crisis, this dissertation contributes to the link between public infrastructure finance and public infrastructure performance, and empirically examines the efficiency and effectiveness of state highway infrastructure investment. Drawing from public service production theory and public choice theory, this dissertation develops a realistic and full theoretical model of public highway production by taking state highway efficiency differences into account, and then applies the public highway production model to empirically examine efficiency and effectiveness of state public highway infrastructure investment. To estimate and explain state highway efficiency, the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method is used to estimate the efficiency differences of state highway investment, and then the panel Tobit method is employed to explain the efficiency differences of state highway investment. The panel fixed effects method is utilized to examine the effects of state highway investment on state highway infrastructure quality and performance including: state-administered road quality, state-owned bridge conditions, state-administered urban highway congestion, and the Principal Component Analysis (PCA)-based overall state highway performance index. The state highway efficiency study finds that there is a large efficiency variation among states in terms of producing quality highway infrastructure services. Interstate competition, highway-user fees financing, citizen monitoring pressure, and institutional structure are significant factors affecting state highway efficiency. The state highway spending effectiveness study finds that state highway maintenance spending is critical to improve state highway quality and performance. In addition, highway efficiency elements matter for state highway performance. This dissertation makes significant theoretical contributions to the studies of public infrastructure spending efficiency and effectiveness, and also offers practical implications for improving American public infrastructure performance and conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A renowned historian and engineer explores the past, present, and future of America's crumbling infrastructure. Acclaimed engineer and historian Henry Petroski explores our core infrastructure from both historical and contemporary perspectives, explaining how essential their maintenance is to America's economic health. Petroski reveals the genesis of the many parts of America's highway system--our interstate numbering system, the centerline that divides roads, and such taken-for-granted objects as guardrails, stop signs, and traffic lights--all crucial to our national and local infrastructure. A compelling work of history, The Road Taken is also an urgent clarion call aimed at American citizens, politicians, and anyone with a vested interest in our economic well-being. Physical infrastructure in the United States is crumbling, and Petroski reveals the complex and challenging interplay between government and industry inherent in major infrastructure improvement. The road we take in the next decade toward rebuilding our aging infrastructure will in large part determine our future national prosperity.
