Impacts of Transport Infrastructure on Productivity and Economic Growth: Recent Advances and Research Challenges

Abstract: The paper provides an update of the survey focusing on estimating the contribution of transport infrastructure to productivity and economic growth. The central questions addressed are possible reasons behind the conflicting results reported in the literature on the elasticity of economic output with respect to transport infrastructure investment. After providing a systematic review of recent empirical studies on the effects of transport infrastructure on productivity and economic growth, the paper notes that c… Show more

“…Formulating clear-cut conclusions on the impacts of TINs on LU with a focus on their relation over time needs care because of the variety of methods, data sources, spatial and temporal scales, physical locations and findings (see Deng, 2013 for an extensive review of potential causes behind inconclusive results in the study of TINs' economic impacts which can also be applied to their LU impacts). Nevertheless, a simple scheme for illustrating the relationships over time can be used to summarise the general situation (Table 5).…”

“…At first sight, the loss of the multiplier effect would seem to overcome the benefits of local expenditures. These are issues that can be addressed by future research, especially considering the insights derived from FIFO/DIDO wage premiums, and the consideration of the relation between labour productivity, transport infrastructure and the development of those local economies (Banister ; Deng ).…”

“…Nevertheless, there is little consensus in the literature as to the exact size of these wider impacts and when they actually occur (2). Even though the estimated size of the impacts in most studies seems to be minor, ignoring such impacts in cost-benefit analysis is controversial (3). Furthermore, the estimates done in Norway vary substantially in size (4-6) which emphasizes the need for national specific estimates and further research.…”
