Model Analysis on Impact of Transport Infrastructure

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the impact of high-speed transport infrastructure development on regional economies. Then we have developed multi-regions and multi-sector model by using an interregional input-output tables from 1965 up to 2000 which covers nine regions of Japanese economy. By this system, we conducted the scenario analysis in case of no development of high speed transportations. As a result, we could uncover the mechanism of economic disparities among regions in terms transport infrastructure.
