Cost-Benefit Analysis of Transport Investments in Distorted Economies
Calthrop, Edward - 2008
This paper deals with costs-benefit analysis of investment in transport infrastructure. Its contribution is twofold. Firstly, we develop a general equilibrium model to explore the impact of a small budgetary-neutral investment in transport infrastructure in a second-best setting, where other...

The social profitability of rural roads in a small open economy : do urban agglomeration economies matter?
Bell, Clive - 2020
In the presence of agglomeration economies, the effects of a rural roads programme depend not only on the reduction in …, accompanied by some return migration, provided both cross-price effects in production and consumption and agglomeration economies … are sufficiently small. With empirically plausible elasticities of agglomeration economies, urban households may be worse …

Assessing policy options for the EU Cohesion Policy 2014-2020
Di Comite, Francesco; Lopez-Rodriguez, Jesus; Potters, … - In: INVESTIGACIONES REGIONALES - Journal of REGIONAL RESEARCH (2014) 29, pp. 17-46
In this paper we analyse the possible impact of Cohesion Policy 2014-2020, putting together the investments supported by EU funding in all NUTS2 regions and running a set of simulations. We make use of RHOMOLO, a spatial CGE model tailored for economic analysis at the subnational level, which is...

The expansion of knowledge is commonly understood as a key driver of economic growth. Yet, while knowledge production and economic growth have been extensively studied in isolation, few studies have tried to formalise the mechanism connecting the two elements from a spatial general equilibrium...
