Analýza závislosti silniční dopravní infrastruktury a přepravních výkonů ve vazbě na HDP České republiky

Abstract

The economic performance of a country can be measured by various macroeconomic indicators. Gross domestic product (GDP) is considered as one of the most important and closely critical indicator of economic performance. GDP and its development in time are influenced by many factors. Transport infrastructure is one of the pillars of economic development. The paper deals with the relationship between the quality of the road transport infrastructure and transport performances in the Czech Republic and the economic development (measured by the key macroeconomic indicator, GDP growth rate). The attention is focused on the influence of the range of highway infrastructure and road transport performances in the Czech Republic on GDP. Statistical methods (the regression and correlation analysis) are used for examining the relation between these indicators.
