在本文中，我们描述了EAR（区域经济可达性）模型来调查铁路基础设施的改善对奥地利99个地区的地区GDP、人口和企业增长的影响。我们评估了四个潜在的铁路基础设施投资项目对奥地利地区可达性的影响，并用于预测这些地区未来的增长。地区绩效由四个变量衡量：地区生产总值、企业数量、人口规模和就业。最后对这四个潜在投资项目的前十年运营情况进行了排名。结果表明，列车可达性的改善对综合绩效高低区域的影响不同。
In this paper we describe the EAR (regional economic accessibility) model to investigate the impact of the improvement of railroad infrastructure on regional GDP, population and firms growth in 99 Austrian regions. We evaluate the impact of four potential railroad infrastructure investment projects on the accessibility of Austrian regions, which is used to forecast future growth of these regions. Regional performance is measured by four variables, gross regional product, number of firms, population size, and employment. Eventually a ranking of these four projects is carried out for the first ten years of operation of the four potential investment projects. We show that the improvement of train accessibility has different impacts on regions with high and low overall performance.
