TY  - JOUR
AB - This paper sets out a framework for analyzing the impact of public investments on industry-level productivity and economic growth. The concept of capital in the public sector is broad-ened from that which is mostly tangible (e.g., physical infrastructure) to that which alsoincludes intangibles and long-lasting societal assets. For the analysis of public investments,we find that in addition to expanding the asset boundary, national accounts also need to: (a)impute a net return to government and other nonmarket capital—or provide industry-leveldata by institutional sector of origin, allowing researchers to do so; (b) include all publicpayments to industry in industry-level gross operating surplus (i.e., all subsidies, productionand product, and the annuity value of investment grants); and (c) provide crosswalks forkey components of government expenditure by function of government (e.g., public funds forextramural R&D or worker training) to kind-of-activity classifications used for industries.
