Overview for Infrastructure and Economic Development
It is well accepted that adequate and quality infrastructure is imperative for economic development. Investment flocks to places where sufficient and reliable infrastructural facilities are available. In this context, the book examines the relationship between the two and empirically measures it in case of Indian states.
Besides examining the issues involved in infrastructural development, the book tries to measure the levels of infrastructural and economic development in the states of the country using large number of variables and construct composite indexes.
The book is of contemporary relevance and uses rigorous methodology to answer the research questions. The suggestions and recommendations are useful to the researchers, policymakers and those interested in balanced regional development of the country.
