description The study of public capital formation has undergone fundamental changes due to research undertaken by economists such as Aschauer, Munnell and others. They maintain that public capital formation is augmented by private sector productivity. Aschauer's theories, however, are at variance with the accepted data on public capital and public sector activities, because he maintains that public capital augments private production directly and indirectly. Macroeconomic studies have shown that capital formation affects the supply side in the economy and endorses Aschauer's theory that capital formation boosts private productivity.
