Madrus Research is pleased to publish our first full-length research paper, “Bridge the Dip: The Advantages of Proactive, Countercyclical Infrastructure Policy.” While infrastructure spending is often mentioned as a way to create jobs during recessions, much less attention is paid to the significant project-level benefits of developing infrastructure during an economic downturn. Our original research quantifies the benefits that state and local governments can accrue by forging forward with infrastructure projects, including lower project costs and higher labor quality. We also present strategies for governments to realize these benefits in the face of fiscal constraints.
