Abstract

The present study explores whether the European Union’s transport policy measures of the last decade have fulfilled the expectations, i.e. whether there has been a positive change in the field of rail freight transport in the region. Data on the volumes of freight transport in the recent period have been analysed with freight transport intensity as an indicator. The values have been then translated into a spatial econometric model, looking for spatiality in the European Economic Region, including countries such as Norway, Switzerland or even Russia, extending the scope of the study to 37 countries. It has been proven that there is a spatial correlation between rail freight transport performance and GDP in Europe, which has a positive effect on countries with high GDP and a negative effect on low GDP countries in terms of performance. There is a particularly high intensity of rail freight in the Baltic region, as well as in Ukraine and Russia. Furthermore, it can be stated that rail freight has not undergone any significant changes in the last 10 years.

欧洲经济区铁路货运的空间经济研究

本研究探讨欧洲联盟过去十年的运输政策措施是否达到了预期，即该区域的铁路货运领域是否出现了积极的变化。最近一段时期的货物运输量数据以货物运输强度为指标进行了分析。这些数值随后被转化为空间计量经济模型，在欧洲经济区寻找空间性，包括挪威、瑞士甚至俄罗斯等国家，将研究范围扩大到37个国家。研究证明，欧洲铁路货运绩效与GDP之间存在空间相关性，在绩效方面，这种相关性对GDP高的国家具有正影响，对GDP低的国家具有负影响。波罗的海地区以及乌克兰和俄罗斯的铁路货运强度特别高。此外，可以说铁路货运在过去十年中没有发生任何重大变化。
