Infrastructure and Asia's Trade Costs
Brooks, Douglas H. | June 2008
Abstract
Infrastructure has played a key role in Asia’s export-led rapid growth, but the details of that contribution are poorly understood even though infrastructure accounts for huge amounts of investment. This policy brief examines and, where possible, quantifies the role of hard and soft infrastructure in reducing Asia’s trade costs and thereby influencing trade flows and patterns.
