Abstract: This dissertation provides a framework to guide the selection of
domestic transport infrastructure projects by providing a metric to assess their general
equilibrium effects. The framework is comprised of three components: (i) a decision
criterion that directs the selection of transport infrastructure projects, (ii) a model
that delivers the necessary information for the application ... read moreof the decision criterion, and
(iii) a factor return analysis that identifies distributional consequences. Once developed,
the framework is applied to three selected transport infrastructure
construction/rehabilitation projects: two that have already been completed, constituting ex
post applications, and one that is still under implementation, exemplifying an ex ante
application of the framework.
