Recommendation
Stimulus funds affect much more than just household consumption. Debates over whether government debt is appropriate when devoted to infrastructure investment often ignore the fact that the firms the state tasks to build new bridges and roads are also investing, increasing their own capacities and raising economic growth. This noteworthy study by economists Shafik Hebous and Tom Zimmermann explores how businesses expand by winning government contracts. getAbstract recommends it to policy makers, executives and investors.
