Abstract

Improvement of infrastructure : spatial effects and financing. It is examined, how and in which extent an improvement of the infrastructure influences transport and the economy in space and time. The interaction between the economy and transport and the way of financing an improvement of infrastructure are taken into account. These relationships have been specified in the (extended) model MOBILEC. The following ways of financing are considered: (1) reduction of other government spending, (2) increase of direct taxes, (3) increase of indirect taxes, including a levy on mobility, (4) increase of the government deficit and (5) private financing. A scenario analysis for Belgium and its three composing regions, namely the Flemish Region, the Walloon region and the Brussels-Capital Region, shows the spatial effects of improvements of infrastructure on the economy and transport in the period 2000-2030 for each of the ways of financing. On this base preferences are formulated for certain ways of financing. (Author/publisher)
