Transport Policy, 2013, vol. 29, issue C, 107-117

Abstract: The effects of investments in infrastructure on local and regional economic development have long been the subject of scientific debate. An issue in this debate is whether the construction of new infrastructure between core and peripheral regions induces economic benefits in these regions or not. Most of the studies that assess these benefits are ex-ante forecasts, whereas far less ex-post studies are known.
