PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION INVESTMENTS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN TURKEY
This study calculates the public transportation capital stock for Turkey for the 1980-2003 period.
Then those series are used to estimate the effect of public transportation investments on gross
domestic product. A similar attempt is made to formulate public capital stock series for various
transportation subsystems and I use them to estimate the effect of subsystem investments on
the value-added (so, economic growth) of the transportation sector. Estimations indicate a
positive relationship between public transportation investments and gross domestic product. At
the subsystem levels, it is estimated that railway, highway, maritime, airline and pipeline
investments have various effects on the value-added of the transportation sector.
