Abstract
Infrastructure policy is one of the popular components of regional development policy. Infrastructure has in general a long range impact on the structure of regions or nations. Since socio-economic disparities are usually not the result of short-term economic fluctuations but of structural differences in space, it is conceivable that regional policy often assigns a critical role to infrastructural provisions. Moreover, in most cases, transport infrastructure appears to have the highest financial share among all public infrastructure endowment expenditures.
