What Infrastructure Crisis?

Brent Miller, Brian Pallasch and Debra Knopman

Municipal Finance Journal, 2020, vol. 40, issue 4, 53 - 72

Abstract: The alarm about infrastructure spending has been sounded for more than two decades with little political movement or adequate private funding to rectify the situation. Our country has not come to a grinding halt, so the question remains: Do we have an infrastructure crisis? Have we ever had a crisis? If so, why have we not seen public-private partnerships and other creative financing structures take off? Why has there not been more investment from state legislatures? Will we reach a breaking point? The panelists discuss how to quantify the U.S. infrastructure requirements, which sectors are better or worse positioned, and next steps.
