Social responsibility of major infrastructure projects in China (2015, background): “At the macro level, the infrastructure has a direct positive effect on the national economic growth as a kind of production factor investment (Aschauer, 1989; Fan and Zhang, 2004); it also promotes the GDP indirectly as common goods (Straub, 2011).”
Explaining Enterprise Performance in Developing Countries with Business Climate Survey Data (2008, unknown): “With regard to infrastructure indicators, Straub (2008) makes a number of suggestions for more detailed questions such as firms’ access to alternative transport modes (railways, airports, roads etc.) or the ownership of vehicles.103 102 iemeier, M., S. Wallsten and L.C. Xu, 2006: 640.”

Impacts of Transport Infrastructure on Productivity and Economic Growth: Recent Advances and Research Challenges (2013, background): “Straub (2011) indicates that economic effects crucially depend on a set of conditions enabling the development of productive activities, such as the right set of incentives and suitable human capital.”
