“…Regarding the effect of geographical distance as a proxy for transportation cost, China and India appear to have better transport infrastructures than the other three BRICS member states. It is consistent with the findings of studies by Pradhan and Bagchi (2013), Maparu and Mazumder (2017), Zhang (2008), Li, Wen, and Jiang (2017) on the development of transport infrastructures in India. The project of One Belt, One Road of China would be a policy which lowers more the transportation cost of China and India as well, fostering their role in BRICS and global trade flows.…”

This study explores the similarities of trade integrations in the BRICS member countries. Using time series data from 2001 to 2015 and employing the Panel-Gravity trade model approach, we utilized the separate disaggregated trade data of manufactured goods and raw materials of each BRICS member with United Nations-defined regional groups: the African group, the Asia Pacific group, the Eastern European group, the Latin American and Caribbean group, and the Western European. The analysis results revealed that Russia's manufactured goods and raw material trade integration based on the Heckscher-Ohlin framework with these five regional groups is not similar to that of other BRICS members following the Linder hypothesis. Furthermore, the dominance of China in total trade flows of BRICS has made the Chinese Yuan's effects on trade with partners from different groups stronger than other BRICS members' national currencies impacts. Geographical distance as a proxy for transportation cost has a weaker negative effect on the manufactured goods and raw materials trade patterns of China and India than it does on other countries, creating dissimilarity in the trade patterns of BRICS countries.

“…In this respect, Zhang [23] uses spatial econometric techniques and demonstrates that transport infrastructure and economic growth create a spatial cluster in China. Mizutani and Tanaka [24] find that infrastructure investment by the national government accelerates that investment realized by the governments of the Japanese prefectures.…”

The relationship between infrastructure investment and economic growth is explored for the main urban areas of Mexico during the period 1985-2008. The methodology consists of a production function estimated by means of panel data techniques that include distributed effects in time. The findings highlight that the economic impact from infrastructure investment is effectively spread through time and cannot only be contemporaneous. This result suggests long-run effects. Moreover, the empirical estimates are according to the urban areas' economic performance: Where major infrastructure provision exists, higher rates of growth are also taking place. Conclusions highlight that if infrastructure provision is not enough it could be a restriction for growth.

“…En cuanto al análisis en el plano regional, los paneles de datos han sido empleados para examinar el papel de la infraestructura en el crecimiento ya que permite un análisis tanto temporal como espacial, con resultados satisfactorios para estudios sobre China (Mody y Wang, 1997;Démurger, 2001;Zhang, 2008;Hong et al, 2011;Deng et al, 2014) e India (Singh y Bhanumurthy, 2014).…”

“…Este estudio aporta a este debate, se enfoca particularmente en el efecto de la infraestructura portuaria en México, en contraste con los estudios efectuados sobre China (Zhang, 2008, Hong et al, 2011y Song y Geenhuizen, 2014 que demuestran que las regiones portuarias presentan mayor crecimiento que las regiones interiores; en México, la situación es inversa, lo que hace peculiar este estudio. Además se incluye la consideración del hinterland portuario, bajo el argumento de que la infraestructura de los puertos beneficia no sólo a una región, sino puede dispersarse hacia otras.…”

Previous studies about the link between transport infrastructure and regional economic growth have differing conclusions. This paper addresses the problem from the port infrastructure and regional economic growth in Mexico. An index of infrastructure, interconnectivity and port hinterland is determined regionally and by analyzing panel data, the positive influence ports-growth between 1996 and 2013 for all coastal regions is explained. We show that as the level of port infrastructure is increased above a certain level, the marginal effects begin to decline its local impact. ResumenEstudios previos sobre la relación entre infraestructura de transporte y crecimiento económico regional presentan conclusiones divergentes. Este documento aborda el problema a partir de la infraestructura portuaria regional en México. Se determinó regionalmente un Índice de infraestructura, el hinterland y la interconectividad portuaria, y mediante un análisis de panel de datos, se explica la relación positiva puertos-crecimiento entre 1996 y 2013 para las regiones litorales. Se demuestra que a medida que se incrementa la infraestructura portuaria de una región los efectos marginales empiezan a declinar su impacto local.Palabras clave: infraestructura portuaria, transporte, crecimiento económico regional, hinterland.
