Assessing the contribution of land, sea and air transport capital to the economic performance of the small island state of Mauritius
Research on the contribution of transport capital to economic growth has so far focused on the concept of 'overall' transport capital. The present article innovates by modelling explicitly the contribution of 'disaggregated' transport capital in the form of road, port and airport capital to economic performance. A uniquely constructed time series data set dating back to the year 1950 for the small island state of Mauritius is investigated within a dynamic framework which allows for feedback effects. Essentially, road capital and port capital are found to have a more important contribution to Mauritian economic growth than airport capital.
