TRANSPORTATION, FRONTIER EFFECTS AND REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE COMMON MARKET

Gerard H. M. Evers and Jan Oosterhaven

Papers in Regional Science, 1988, vol. 64, issue 1, 37-51

Abstract: ABSTRACT In tins paper the locational effects of introducing High Speed Railways in France, the Benelux and West Germany art estimated, together with the spatial impacts of a far reaching reduction of the internal borders of the EEC. To this aim a multisectoral potentials model is developed. It estimates the zero‐sum kind of spatial redistribution effects that are due to changes in relative regional accessibility, as well as the generative net growth effects that are due to increases in market areas and the conseguent economies of scale. Empirically, surprising spatial differences in such effects are found.
