Analyzing the coordinated development level of decomposed effects of transportation infrastructure economic benefit: case study of Shanghai, China

摘要

The economic benefit of transportation infrastructure is the positive influence on economy system generated by the use of transportation infrastructure. This paper decomposes transportation infrastructure economic benefit into four effects which are consumption effect, investment effect, government purchase effect and external demand effect of it for the first time and introduces an integrated approach to analyze their coordinated development level taking Shanghai for example. The results showed that the coordinated development of decomposed effects of transportation infrastructure economic benefit of Shanghai was at the lower level and had certain improvement space. The external demand effect has the largest influence to the coupling coordination degree among four decomposed effects. All of these four effects have the positive significant impacts on the coupling coordination degree.
