It shows that the existing evidence base is clear in concluding that reliable and high-quality infrastructure is a crucial foundation for enabling businesses to thrive. It demonstrates that the provision of electricity, transport, water, and telecommunications systems increases firm-level productivity. It also shows that providing infrastructure per se is not enough to boost productivity, unless it offers reliable service. Disruptions and irregular service have substantial adverse effects on firms, not least due to disrupted supply chains, underutilization of production capacity, and costly adaptation measures. 2019-06-20T15:00:38Z 2019-06-20T15:00:38Z 2019-06 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/470131560793126612/Resilient-Infrastructure-for-Thriving-Firms-A-Review-of-The-Evidence http://hdl.handle.net/10986/31915 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 8895 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper
