Beginning from the end of the 1980s many studies analysing the relation between
infrastructures endowment and economic development have been realised. A general
consensus is achieved around the idea that basic infrastructure facilities are important
features related to economic performance, although both magnitude and causality
direction are debated.
A peculiar feature of these studies is that, across them, different empirical and
theoretical entities are referred to infrastructure.
Although the vast body of literature on infrastructures economic impact have been
largely reviewed less attention have been paid to the term infrastructure per se.
This article, aiming to provide a helpful instrument to critically interpret the existing
literature, zooms in on infrastructure definition and then reviews different categories of
infrastructures utilised in literature, namely: personal, institutional, material, immaterial,
economic, social, core and not-core, basic and complementary, network, nucleus, and
territory infrastructures.
