Abstract
This thesis provides empirical evidence on the links between infrastructure and economic development in the Yangtze River Delta. We used panel spatial models to analyze the economic development in 73 of the delta’s counties during the period 2002-2006. We found that the GDP per capita is positively related to infrastructural variables such as transport network density and telecommunication. Other economic variables such as population density, R&D, FDI, and human capital are important determinants of economic development. The GDP per capita is also positively related to spatial variables, which indicates the existence of the spillover effect in the Yangtze River Delta.
