Summary/Abstract: Until now research on construction economy has had a series of remarkable achievements but also weaknesses originate the lack of understanding of the role of economic research in the field. In the future it will be necessary to address a number of research topics such as: definition of supply and demand in the sector and the need to balance their; determining how state intervention in industry; formulating strategies to take into account all stakeholders; adoption of methodologies for prioritizing investments based on multi-criteria analysis. Future research in construction economics should be directed especially towards solutions applicable in the sector rather than to reflect statistical phenomena.
