Abstract
A number of recent studies, reviewed by Quinet (1992), Bell and McGuire (1992) or Kessides (1993), have been devoted to the contribution of transport infrastructure to economic development. They include, in particular, a stream of research that attempts to assess the ex-post macro-economic impact of infrastructure by means of production functions.
