概要 | Over the 1980s and 1990s, most Latin American countries witnessed a retrenchment of the public sector from infrastructure provision and an opening up of infrastructure activities to the private secto.... This book analyzes the consequences of these policy changes from two perspectives. First, it reviews in a comparative framework the major trends in infrastructure provision in Latin America over the last two decades. Second, it evaluates the implication of these trends for economic growth and public deficits in the region. The book shows that in most countries private participation did not fully offset the public sector retrenchment. The result was a slowdown in infrastructure accumulation, which entailed a significant growth cost and weakened the intended impact of the infrastructure spending cuts on public sector insolvency. A frequent measure recommended by the international financial institutions in their structural adjustment programs for developing countries is using cutbacks in infrastructure spending as a means to fiscal adjustment. Easterly (economics, New York U.) and Serven (the World Bank) present six chapters exploring the major facets of infrastructure spending in Latin America over the past two decades. Contributors find that major high-return projects were mistakenly cut, that the privatization of infrastructure has had mixed results, and that fiscal austerity centered on the sale of public assets and the compression of expenditures is not a promising approach towards Latin America's public finances.
