Abstract

Pugh G. and Fairburn J. Evaluating the effects of the M6 Toll road on industrial land development and employment, Regional Studies. The paper reports the first evaluation of the wider economic effects of the M6 Toll, the UK's first toll motorway. Methodologically, it contributes to the literature evaluating the economic effects of new transport infrastructure by exploiting a new source of data, applying fresh econometric techniques, and triangulating quantitative results with interview data. It is concluded that the M6 Toll has caused a positive development effect at the sub-regional level. In addition, reasons are advanced why the development potential of new road infrastructure may be amplified rather than reduced by tolls. [image omitted] Pugh G. et Fairburn J. Evaluer les effets de la route a peage M6 sur le developpement des zones friches et l'emploi, Regional Studies. Cet article cherche a presenter les premiers resultats quant aux retombees economiques de plus grande envergure de la route a peage M6, la premiere route a peage au Royaume-Uni. Du point de vue methodologique, l'article contribue a la documentation qui cherche a evaluer les retombees economiques de la nouvelle infrastucture routiere en employant une nouvelle source de donnees, en appliquant des techniques econometriques toutes nouvelles, et en triangulant les resultats quantitatifs avec les donnees provenant des interviews. On conclut que la route a peage M6 a eu des retombees positives sur le plan sous-regional. En plus, on avance des raisons qui expliquent pourquoi le potentiel de la nouvelle infrastructure routiere pourrait etre augmente plutot que reduit par le peage. Route a peage M6 Infrastructure routiere Developpement des zones friches Retombees economiques de plus grande envergure Evaluation Principes de fonds supplementaires et de deplacement Pugh G. und Fairburn J. Bewertung der Auswirkungen der mautpflichtigen Autobahn M6 auf die industrielle Landerschliessung und Beschaftigung, Regional Studies. In diesem Artikel berichten wir uber die erste Bewertung der breiteren wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der ersten mautpflichtigen Autobahn Grossbritanniens, M6 Toll. Als methodologischer Beitrag zur Literatur werden im Artikel die wirtschaftlichen Auswirkungen der neuen Verkehrsinfrastruktur bewertet, wofur eine neue Datenquelle genutzt, frische okonometrische Techniken angewandt und quantitative Ergebnisse mit Interviewdaten trianguliert werden. Wir ziehen den Schluss, dass die M6 Toll auf subregionaler Ebene eine positive Wirkung auf die Entwicklung gezeigt hat. Daruber hinaus fuhren wir Grunde an, warum sich das Entwicklungspotenzial einer neuen Strasseninfrastruktur durch eine Maut verbreitern statt verringern kann. Mautpflichtige M6-Autobahn Verkehrsinfrastruktur Industrielle Landerschliessung Breiterer wirtschaftlicher Nutzen Bewertung Erganzung und Verdrangung Pugh G. y Fairburn J. Valoracion de los efectos de los peajes de la autopista M6 en el desarrollo industrial y el empleo en zonas rurales, Regional Studies. En este articulo hacemos una primera evaluacion de los amplios efectos economicos de la primera autopista con peaje en el Reino Unido, la M6. Como aportacion metodologica a la literatura, en este articulo evaluamos los efectos economicos de la nueva infraestructura de transporte al sacar provecho de una nueva fuente de datos, aplicar las recientes tecnicas econometricas y triangular los resultados cuantitativos con datos de entrevistas. Concluimos que el peaje de la M6 ha causado un efecto de desarrollo positivo a nivel subregional. Ademas, explicamos los motivos por los que el posible desarrollo de una nueva infraestructura de carreteras podria ampliarse en vez de reducirse a causa del peaje. Peaje de la autopista M6 Infraestructura de transporte Desarrollo de terreno industrial Amplios beneficios economicos Evaluacion Adicionalidad y desplazamiento
