Abstract

Investing scarce resources with the hope of a future outcome is fundamentally an economic process. Yet the use of formal economics tools to inform capital allocation decisions is still in its infancy. Development finance can play a pioneering role in enabling increasingly intelligent links between investment decisions and their economic backdrop. The economic Production Function provides a useful framework for incrementally formalising these links across projects, jurisdictions and institutions over time.
