The Economic Benefits and Impacts of Expanded Infrastructure Investment

In this report The Council of Economic Advisors (CEA) investigates the impacts of a comprehensive public infrastructure program. The assessed program includes a 10-year, $1.5 trillion program of infrastructure investment as well as new administrative and regulatory policies intended to increase efficiency and speed delivery of infrastructure projects. CEA assesses the likely impacts of the program across three key domains: GDP growth, time needed for project completion, and labor market opportunities for infrastructure workers.
