The designed life and path dependent nature of infrastructure would suggest that the timeframe of analysis for resilience should be at least the designed lifespan of the infrastructure. If the history of investment allows a year span of ex post analysis, this may be a convenient time frame, given the plausibility of much greater magnitudes of hazards from climate change over the long-term Hallegate et al.
The governance structures would be independent variables, and a long-term cost-based measure of resilience would be the dependent variable. To be comparable, infrastructure investment transactions would have to be selected to control for the form of hazard to which they are exposed, and a few general physical properties of the sites where they are located, such as the steepness of slopes and geologic conditions that drive up the cost of engineered solutions and thus generate extraneous variance.
In particular, this approach would highlight the inefficiency of infrastructure investment choices which may have appeared to be cost-effective in the short-term, but have proven to be relatively expensive over the long-term. Infrastructure Planning, Disaster and Re-Investment. Production and transaction costs would be counted. The hypothesis of discriminating alignment would remain in place.
The unit of analysis is still the transaction, cost-effective in discriminating alignment with a governance structure that safeguards against the hazards of bounded rationality and opportunism in the presence of asset specificity. It also stretches the time horizon of applicable analysis over as long as year timespan, or at least as long as the designed life of the infrastructure investment.
Emphasis is on the behavioral assumption of bounded rationality, leaving actors with imperfect foresight and allowing, in a game-theoretic conception of decision-making, for the appearance of gambling with long-term risk in a short-term game of infrastructure investment. Production and transaction costs are both accounted for, with transaction costs that account for the expenses and losses experienced to the infrastructure investment and human and ecological functions over the long-term.
Transaction costs are excessive long-term losses, and resilience is thus the relative measure of long-term cost-effectiveness of the choice of infrastructure investment. Discriminating alignment is the choice of governance structure that economizes over the long-term, providing resilience. When searching for a remedy, only institutionally feasible options need apply.
The aim of empirical analysis of historical investment would be to amass predictive content by naming the key ways in which transactions involving infrastructure investment differ, describing the economic properties of the structures employed to govern investment and land use over the long-term, and measuring the comparative costs parties experienced from these choices. To be of use in the analysis of alternative future development plans, ex post analysis would have to provide the types of empirical information that would be of strategic use to local decision-makers as they attempt to reconcile uncertainty about the exogenous forces created by climate change with knowledge of the endogenous limitations of existing physical and financial assets.
They are often the first of multiple sequential investments that collectively serve as precipitating events, with resulting measurable impacts to human and biotic communities. Empirical analysis of historical investments and their long-term consequences can be used to determine parameters for decisions, and populate decision-trees with scenarios of alternative future infrastructure investments.
To illustrate, we have populated one such decision-tree from Rosenhead with hypothetical values Figure 4. A three-stage planning problem with multiple futures. Adapted from Rosenhead Symbols of future valuation have been replaced by numerical values. Diamonds are four alternative infrastructure investment options, which are precursors to the plausible changes in land use differentiated by diamonds Together, the patterns of infrastructure and land use investment expressed in diamonds can be linked to end states, measurable in terms of the qualities ascribed economic value in human and biotic communities, identified by boxes Up to this point, the items identified are treated as endogenous variables, subject to the governance structures and range of institutionally feasible infrastructure and land use developments.

Each column represents a hazard experienced in a future state, and numerical values in the boxes are used to indicate the positive and negative impact to each valued end state from exposure to the hazard. The parameters for deciding what and where to build i. Historical analysis of the long-term effects of various infrastructure investments under alternative governance structures would provide an empirical basis for delineating the plausible precipitating effects of each infrastructure decision on land use, and measuring the effect of each pattern of urban development in terms of plausible end states.
Importantly, empirical analysis would help decision-makers avoid optimism bias by presenting empirical cases, with measured impacts to human and biotic communities, of undesirable as well as desirable outcomes. A simple matrix with parameters describing infrastructure investment alternatives. Together, these patterns of development across the landscape could result in five measurable end states boxes 15, 16, 17, 19, and For each initial infrastructure investment, robustness is measured as the proportion of plausible end states with desirable or acceptable impact in each future state, while debility is measured as the proportion of end states with undesirable or catastrophic impact in each future state Figure 6.
Working back through Figure 4, one can even imagine accompanying infrastructure investment option 3 with changes to land use policy designed to avoid catastrophic box 21 and undesirable box 19 end states, by regulating against one particular form of land use change diamond 8. The simple ordinal values that describe desirable, acceptable, undesirable, or catastrophic outcomes, in the matrices of Figure 6 would be replaced by economic values, or other more fine-grained ordinal scales of benefit and cost. In this way, one could use empirical transaction cost analyses of historical infrastructure investments for resilience to populate ex ante evaluations of alternative future plans for development.
Transaction cost economics and resilience offer opportunities to do so through theoretical approaches and research methodologies that make common cause of research designed to reveal, in transaction cost economic terms, the long-term efficiency of investments in systems of infrastructure that complement and incorporate valuable environmental assets. These are well-developed theories, each of which has a history of application to infrastructure systems.
If we can expand our concept of transactions in search of long-term value, we may see more than economic rewards.
