1As this Report goes to press, we want to express our gratitude to those who made our work possible. First, and foremost, to our respective institutions. Franco Bassanini, President of Fondazione Astrid, Alberto Quadrio Curzio, President of CRANEC and Xavier Ragot, President of OFCE-Sciences Po. Their support and encouragement are the reasons why this Report exists. They helped us in defining the scope and the form of the Report, in contacting some of the authors, and of course in guaranteeing financial and logistical support. But they did much more than this: they have put the issue of public investment at the centre of the respective institutions’ scientific project, carrying the weight of our endeavour.

2We also thank all the chapter authors, who in general respected the deadlines despite exogenous shocks, interacted with us and with the referees, and exchanged on the different chapters at an informal workshop. The result is a collective volume that, despite the heterogeneity of backgrounds, has a consistent message throughout. Organizing the different chapters into a whole was a relatively easy task, and we are deeply grateful to the authors for this.

3We also thank Giovanni Barbieri from CRANEC for his efficient editing of the volume. Last, but not least, we thank Rupert Gatti and Alessandra Tosi, of Open Book Publishers, who smoothly managed the refereeing process of the Report, and adapted to the new constraints posed by the COVID crisis.
