Abstract

Many transitional economies have a shortage of infrastructure for the provision of public services (e.g. health, education) that are important in developing human capital and increasing the rate of economic growth. Moreover, the regional distribution of the available public capital for the provision of these services is often uneven, implying that citizens also have inequitable access to the public services that are available.
