The notion of infrastructure is presented as a subset of the notion of capital. Several definitional characteristics of infrastructure are identified and discussed. The paper reviews the difficulties associated with using infrastructure as a determinate of production functions, and the not too clear conclusions that emerge from it. Because infrastructure always has a government dimension and can also have a private dimension, the menu of institutional options available is quite large The heterogeneity of the concept of infrastructure is emphasized.
