IMPLEMENTATION OF STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS: MODELING OF EFFECTS AND RESULTS by L. V. Prikhodko, E. V. Arsenova

“…Neglecting this fact significantly reduces the overall efficiency of infrastructure projects, and in some cases leads to the wrong decisions that reject project implementation.Investigations made by authors allow to identify, classify and quantitatively estimate the direct and indirect effects from the implementation of infrastructure projects, including integrated assessment of budgetary efficiency and an assessment of economic effects for the development of territories.Among indirect effects the special attention was paid to the multimodal effects resulting from the redistribution of passenger and cargo flows and more rational capacity of the transportation system. …”
