Abstract
In this section, we list some of the alternative empirical approaches that could be used to measure the benefits of infrastructure investments. We also list some of the difficulties associated with each approach. The reason for putting this section so late in the paper is that before we measure something, we first must have a precise theoretical concept for what we are trying to measure. Thus in this section, we shall draw heavily on the theoretical benefit measures defined in the earlier sections of this paper.
