本文按照 Clarida 和 Findlay（1992）模型的建议，对基础设施供应对行业生产率和国际专业化的影响进行了实证分析。我们计算了18个发达国家和发展中国家以及10个制造业的全要素生产率（TFP），并研究了道路、电信和电力供应对部门TFP（即比较优势）国际变化的影响。我们还研究了基础设施对各国产出部门构成的影响。使用三阶段最小二乘估计策略来控制基础设施供应的内生性，我们发现基础设施，特别是道路，有助于解释比较优势和国际专业化的模式。
This paper provides an empirical analysis of the effect of infrastructure provision on industry-level productivity and international specialization, as suggested by Clarida and Findlay’s (1992) model. We calculate total factor productivity (TFP) for 18 developed and developing countries and 10 manufacturing industries, and study the effects of supplies of roads, telecommunications and electric power on international variations in sectoral TFP, i.e. comparative advantage. We also examine the effects of infrastructure on the sectoral composition of output across countries. Using a three-stage least-squares estimation strategy to control for endogeneity of infrastructure provision, we find that infrastructure, especially roads, helps to explain patterns of comparative advantage and international specialization.
