Abstract: From regional growth theory's perspective, major transport infrastructure constructions are perceived as an instrument to foster short run economic development of traversed territories. From a reminder of Keynesian theoretical foundations, we propose in this paper an economic impact model applied in the South Europe Atlantic (sea) Tours-Bordeaux high speed railway construction case. Thanks to an hybrid Input-Output model based on substantial investigation work and Insee data, we assess the economic impact of this construction on the regions crossed by (Aquitaine, Centre, Poitou-Charentes) over a two-year period (2011-2013). It appears that one euro spent locally in construction increases economic output in these regions of 1.96 euro. All in all, 13 799 jobs, 1.6 billion euros of economic output and 755 million euros of added value were generated.
