Eleventh Milan European Economy Workshop From 22-23 June 2012 the invited participants discussed the preliminary results of the EIBURS project The History of European Infrastructure Finance, sponsored by the European Investment Bank University Research Sponsorship. Over the long-term, the finance of infrastructure has been organised in a myriad of different ways from being financed by fully private to fully public institutions. Though no country is completely alike, there have been considerable commonalities across the European context. Our research project aims to collect and analyse data on infrastructure finance over the long-term, and on this basis identify phases in finance infrastructure across sectors, countries, financial as well as other regulatory and socio-economic institutions. This goes along with the analyses of the outcomes of public engagement in public infrastructure provisioning in Europe as well as with an identification and exploration of European best practice examples for infrastructure financing that provide lessons learnt for contemporary policy debates. A selection of the papers presented will be qualified to be published in The Journal of European Economic History.
