{"title":"The Transport Sector, New Economic Geography and Economic Development in Peripheral Regions","authors":"R. Vickerman","doi":"10.4324/9780429441585-9","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429441585-9","url":null,"abstract":"There is a renewed interest in peripherality in Europe. The completion of a Single market, pressures towards Economic and Monetary Union and the threat of competition between the southern and eastern peripheries have all raised important policy dimensions. There is an increasing questioning of the traditional reliance on the use of infrastructure, especially transport infrastructure, as a policy instrument. The traditional approach to peripherality has been through the use of conventional measure of accessibility and economic potential, broad macromeasures, which make important, but largely implicit, assumptions about economic structure, production and markets. This paper aims to bring together two strands from recent work which cast the peripherality problem in a new light. On the one hand there have been advances in the definition of accessibility which take a more disaggregated approach, concentrating on accessibility which take a more disaggregated approach, concentrating on accessibility within regions and to networks. On the other hand models in the New Economic Geography tradition concentrate on the interplay between production characteristics, imperfectly competitive markets and transport costs to demonstrate the potential ambiguity of convergent and divergent forces in the economic integration process. This paper aims to add a third strand, which is typically absent from both approaches, a more detailed consideration of the transport sector itself. Accessibility measures concentrate on objective measure of impedance, distance, time and cost, but do not usually allow explicitly for the role of market structure in the transport sector. Similarly, New Economic Geography models rely too heavily on the simple representation of transport costs as iceberg formulation. This makes for a more tractable model, but misses on the key dimensions which is of particular relevance to peripheral regions. This paper will discuss a largely theoretical approach to these issues, but will be illustrated with some specific examples which look at the impact of new transport infrastructure on changes in traffic flows, location and logistics.","PeriodicalId":350663,"journal":{"name":"New Contributions to Transportation Analysis in Europe","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130118937","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper focuses on the heart of investment decisions -- the location and impact of those investments, and the willingness or desire to strengthen urban cores or to live with and adopt to dispersion. These planning issues are being decided in political meetings and not in the planning literature. They are decided around personal and community values, issues of personal freedom and also of race. It is believed that the strong urban centers are crucial for economic and social growth.","PeriodicalId":350663,"journal":{"name":"New Contributions to Transportation Analysis in Europe","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129269818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
