Abstract
"This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the issues, policies, and political economy of infrastructure investment, and a review of empirical literature of the relationship between growth and infrastructure.

Telecommunications are most important for low-income countries, while transportation and energy are the most relevant for middle-income and high-income economies, respectively.
