| Title | What are the effects of road constructions on the development of the regions in Hungary? |
| Summary | The aim of the paper is to analyze the effect of public road construction on regional economic development through the increased number of traffic. The problem is investigated from two point of view; first from county level and then from individual road level. For analyzing the effects panel data method is used with first difference estimator. The result shows that public road construction and reconstruction influences the flow of traffic positively only on individual road level. Even though no statistical evidence can be found for the correlation between road development and flow of traffic on the county level, it is worth to analyze its indirect effect on regional economic development. By running the regressions it can be concluded that the increase in traffic has positive effect on the Gross Regional Product per capita and therefore on the development of the region. |
