ECONOMIC EFFECT FROM CITY INFRASTRUCTURE POT (PASSENGER PUBLIC TRANSPORT) IN GERMANY

Abstract

. Transport infrastructure is an important part of public capital and a major aspect of political and scientific discussions. In addition, investments in transport infrastructure have an impact not only on the region to which cash flows flow, but also on the supra-regional level due to the network characteristics of the infrastructure and its importance for connecting regions. Despite its obvious importance, investments in transport infrastructure are the main reason for underfunding, with an increasing number of stakeholders expressing their dissatisfaction with the current state of the network. A more detailed analysis distinguishing between different types of motorways and structures confirms these conclusions and highlights the importance of the Bundesstraßen network compared to the autobahn system. The estimated impact of bridge quality is quite ambiguous and requires further research to achieve a better understanding. This article analyzes the impact of the quantity and quality of transport infrastructure on regional economic production.
