On the optimal policy of infrastructure provision across regions

Article Abstract:

A two-region model with inter-regional migration of workers and inter-regional trade of goods was developed in order to assess the effects of an optimal allocation and an optimal level method occurring in areas of infrastructure provision. Results show three factors to strongly influence the involvement of either the balanced allocation scheme or the polarized allocation scheme with optimal policy. These include the extent of substitution in consumption, the level of increasing returns in private sector production, and extent of the regional differences with respect to comparative advantage.
