Transport Infrastructure and Economic Development: Theory, Models and Empirical Evidence

Transportation Infrastructure and Economic Growth: Theory, Models, and Empirical Evidence helps evaluate the economic effects of transport infrastructure investments within a cost-benefit framework for maximum economic impact. The book analyzes the primary empirical approaches used to gauge the economic effects of transport infrastructures, providing in-depth discussions on data issues, input-output techniques, and econometric methodologies. Users will find empirical evidence organized from a transport mode point-of-view, inspiring researchers to conduct comparative analysis for various infrastructure projects. Topics cover infrastructure's impact on economic growth using theoretical frameworks, including exogenous growth models, endogenous growth models, and new economic geography models. In addition, readers will also learn tips for conducting infrastructure impact studies and how to improve the effectiveness of infrastructural investments design. Explains and evaluates the economic effects of transport infrastructure investments, including direct and indirect, short and long run impact, and local and spillover outcomesProvides up-to-date coverage of quantitative techniques and empirical results for transportation and economic impact issuesExplains the steps for conducting impact studies for proposed infrastructure projectsAnalyzes infrastructure's role on economic growth through theoretical, methodological and empirical perspectivesFeatures case studies describing real-world methods INDICE: 1.
