“…In terms of methodology, this study is based on a spatial interaction analysis by employing a gravity model framework, differentiating from the mainstream line of research in the field using mainly causality examinations such as Saidi et al (2018), Pradhan & Bagchi (2013), Badalyan et al (2014), Keho & Echui (2011), Mohmand et al (2017, Pradhan (2010) and He et al (2021). In that way, we incorporate spatial dimension of logistics infrastructure in the analysis.…”

Over the past two decades, Türkiye has undertaken considerable investment in transport infrastructure to build a well-developed transport network and to get integrated into global supply chains. This study aims to evaluate long-term trade expansion benefits of transport network investment in Türkiye to derive recommendations for transport and industrial policy. For this purpose, gravity models of trade are estimated for exports and imports with infrastructure investments in various transport modes as the main explanatory variables; as well as other independent variables involving determinants of bilateral trade flow, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development. In addition, control variables for Türkiye and for partner countries are involved in the models to obtain robust results. A main inference from the analysis entails that transport infrastructure investment acts as a driver for import growth rather than export expansion. As another important conclusion, transport infrastructure investment should be carried out with all transport types considered, based on a long-term transport policy scheme with special attention on road and rail infrastructure. Moreover, transport modes should be integrated to enhance network and connectivity of the overall logistics system. As a final remark, a widespread practice of multimodal and intermodal transportation can be achieved by a holistic integration policy of transport modes.

“…Researchers have also studied the causal relationship between transportation facilities and the economy with four categories of relationships. The first category is unidirectional, with transport facilities leading to economic growth [8][9][10][11], or economic development leading to the construction of transport facilities [12][13][14]. The second category is bidirectional causality among transportation facilities, including cargo transportation and economic growth [15][16][17].…”

“…The coordination between varied freight modes (highway, rail, water, and aviation) and economic development can be calculated using Equations (11) and (12). The coordination results for the Eastern, Central, Western, and Northeast regions in 2010, 2012, 2015, and 2017 are shown in Table 13.…”

Freight Mode Coordination in China: From the Perspective of Regional Differences

Studying the coordination of varied freight modes from the perspective of geographic regions is conducive to understanding the regional differences, and this can provide effective countermeasures and suggestions for the sustainable and coordinated development of freight transport. To reflect on the effects of regional differences in the coordination of freight modes, we divided China into four regions: The East, Central, West, and Northeast. We examined freight mode coordination in terms of region and analysed the coordination of freight modes from three aspects: one within a single freight mode system, between varied freight modes, and among freight modes and the economy in different regions. We selected 19 freight indexes based on China’s freight data from 2008 to 2017, and determined the relationship between the freight index and economic index gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate by means of stability, co-integration, and the Granger causality test. The coordination models within a single freight mode and among varied freight modes were established, and we conducted spatial autocorrelation between the freight mode and the economy. The results demonstrated that in the four regions of China, the single-freight mode had coordination of over 0.80; the coordination between waterway and aviation freight transport was over 0.83; and the coordination of varied freight modes in the Eastern region exceeded 0.78, with good overall coordination. Among the four regions, the spatial correlation between the Eastern and Western regions was not significant, while the correlation between the Central and Northeast regions was significant. The model and analysis methods established in this study were feasible and effective. In view of the universality of the model, it can be easily applied and generalized in or out of China.

Also, a study by Keho and Echui (2011) showed that despite the existence of a causal relationship, there is no effect of transport infrastructure on economic growth in the case of Côte d'Ivoire.…”

The objective of this paper is to analyze the influence of road infrastructure on economic growth in the CEMAC zone. To do so, a two-step approach has been adopted. The first step consists in tracing the theoretical and empirical developments on the issue. The second is an empirical analysis that highlights the link between road infrastructure and economic growth by estimating the DOLS model. The data used are from the World Bank's WDI database. The results show that road infrastructure has a positive and statistically significant contribution to economic growth in the CEMAC countries. These results have led to some economic policy implications.
