本文从对基础设施促进经济增长作用的最新思考出发，分析了日本和美国的公共工程支出模式。考虑到上世纪90年代日本经济增长缓慢，这是一个重要的话题。鉴于美国的发展，人们对公共基础设施在塑造经济命运方面的作用重新产生了兴趣。长期的经济低迷、公共工程支出和公共债务的增加，以及小泉政府的当选，促使人们重新评估日本几十年来的公共工程政策。本文首先回顾了有关公共工程支出的文献中的最新发展和发现。接下来是对日本公共工程支出模式和这一政策的结果的分析。后面的部分探讨了重新定位公共工程支出的政策，以支持更有生产力的部门，以最好地促进经济增长。
This article analyzes the pattern of public works spending in Japan and the United States from the perspective of recent thinking on the role of infrastructure in promoting economic growth. This is an important topic given the sluggish economic growth in Japan in the 1990s. There is renewed interest in the role of public infrastructure in shaping the economy’s fortunes in light of developments in the United States. The prolonged economic downturn, rising public works spending and public debt, and the election of the Koizumi government have motivated the reassessment of decades-old public works policies in Japan. The article begins by reviewing recent developments and findings in the literature regarding public works spending. This is followed by an analysis of patterns of public works spending in Japan and the outcomes of this policy. The later sections explore policies to reposition public works spending in favor of more productive sectors to best contribute to economic growth.
