Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we provide evidence as to the effects of infrastructure provision on aggregate productivity using industry-level data for a set of developed and developing countries over the 1995–2010 period. A distinctive feature of our empirical strategy is that it allows the measurement of intra- and interindustry resource reallocations which are directly attributable to the infrastructure provision. To achieve this objective, we propose a two-level top-down decomposition of labor aggregate productivity that extends the decomposition introduced by Diewert (Journal of Productivity Analysis 43:367–387) using a time-continuous setting.
