所谓构成全球化的进程之一是贸易和投资。高速公路、铁路和港口的改善促进了货物的流动，从而提高了全球人民的生活水平。虽然基础设施对于实现发展中国家的主要发展目标，如城市化、工业化、出口增长和可持续经济发展是不可或缺的（Kim, 2006），但基础设施支出、经济增长和国际贸易之间的关系尚无定论。Boarnet（1995）认为，如果公共投资使一些地方比其他地方具有地方竞争优势，那么它就是生产性的。本研究的目的是调查1970-2005年期间土耳其公路基础设施投资对土耳其国际贸易和经济增长的影响。协整分析和因果分析结果表明，土耳其公路交通基础设施与经济增长和国际贸易之间的关系很弱。
One of the processes that are alleged to constitute globalization is trade and investment. Improvements in highways, railways and ports facilitate the movement of the goods thus leading to higher standards of living for the people of the whole globe. Although infrastructure is indispensable to achieve the main development targets in developing countries, such as urbanization, industrialization, export growth and sustainable economic development (Kim, 2006), the relationship between infrastructure expenditures, economic growth and international trade is inconclusive. Boarnet (1995) suggests that public investment is productive if it gives some places a local competitive advantage over other places. The aim of the study is to investigate the effects of investments on highway infrastructure in Turkey, on Turkey’s international trade and economic growth for the period of 1970-2005. Results from cointegration and causality analysis suggest that there is only a weak relationship between highway transportation infrastructure, economic growth and international trade in Turkey.
