| Improving transport infrastructure promotes regional integration by enabling more movement of goods, people and services across regions. In general, effective transportation infrastructure can improve productivity by reducing transportation time and costs while increasing connectivity between regions. It can also create jobs during construction and stimulate economic growth by facilitating the movement of goods and people across borders. Therefore, the main objective of this study is to examine the relationship of transport infrastructure to Iran's economic growth, using the components of road, rail, air and port transport infrastructure, as well as the component of trade on economic growth in the period 1991-2021. The results indicate that there is a direct relationship between all explanatory and dependent variables, i.e., economic growth, so that the variables of rail infrastructure, port infrastructure, trade and road infrastructure, respectively, have positive and meaningful direct effects on Iran's economic growth at 5/5, 79/2, 73/0 and 71/0, and the air infrastructure variable has a positive direct effect on the country's economic growth at 59/0 compared to other variables. |
