We construct comprehensive and comparable indices on the most relevant components of economic infrastructure. An unobserved components model is employed to cover the largest possible number of developing and developed countries over the period 1990–2010. By overcoming several data limitations, our new global index can help assess the links between infrastructure and economic development more systematically.
We also constructed sub-indices for specific infrastructure components: transport, ICT, energy and finance.
