A Note on Infrastructure Quality in South Africa

Johan Fourie

No 03/2007, Working Papers from Stellenbosch University, Department of Economics

Abstract: The emphasis, both in research and in policy making, seems to be on more infrastructure, rather than better infrastructure. This research note aims to critically analyse the lack of quality indicators in infrastructure empirics and to redirect attention to improving infrastructure quality in its various forms in South Africa.
