Assessment of the Economic Impact of Selected ASFINAG Project

Construction and Operating Phase

The aim of this study is to estimate the macroeconomic and regional economic effects associated with the construction and operation of selected ASFINAG road construction projects; the results are to be integrated into ASFINAG's project-specific test reports. For the construction phase, the investment structures were examined using WIFO's regional input-output model ASACANIO; the effects during the operational phase were estimated using the EcoAustria accessibility model. The results for both phases were combined in a present value analysis. A discussion of the limitations of these analyses and the aspects (economic and non-economic) of the road construction projects that were not taken into account supplements the report.
