Using the production function and its extensions, it finds a positive - but concave - elasticity of output with respect to public capital, which is robust to changes in time intervals and varying depreciation rates. Furthermore, in non-OECD countries the growth impact of public capital is higher once longer time intervals are considered. Mode of access: Internet Bornhorst, Fabian. Gupta, Sanjeev. Sze, Elsa.
