US & Canada are pretty terrible at it.One of the pet theories that's being floated around is that countries with civil law traditions tend to pay less than countries with common law traditions. Supposedly if one adjusts for GDP, the Indian metro systems being built cost more than the Chinese systems despite India being poorer. OTOH, in Europe, the countries seen as being corrupt (France, Spain, Italy) can somehow build for less than the non-corrupt countries (Netherlands, Germany, Sweden). |
