“…Recently, a major number of studies have been devoted to investigating the effect of seaport investment on national economic growth. The findings of these studies [1][2][3][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] showed that there is a positive relationship between seaport investment and economic growth. Most previous researchers used a production function approach to estimate the effects of seaport investment infrastructure on economic growth.…”

“…The authors indicate therefore that ports tend to increase GDP in the area where they are located (direct effect) and affect positively the GDP of nearby regions. In literature review, [7] have examined several studies interesting to the economic impact of seaports. They concluded that seaports are a vital part of a country's economy.…”

“…Likewise, ports are essential for the support of economic activities in the surrounding areas, as they act as a critical association amid sea and land transport [56]. Besides, according to Golebiowski [57] water carriage is the most energy effective way of transportation.…”

This paper examines the nexus between the main forms of transport, related investments, specific air pollutants, and sustainable economic growth. The research is important since transport may act as a facilitator of social, economic, and environmental development. Based on data retrieved from Eurostat, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and World Bank, the output of fixed-effects regressions for EU-28 countries over 1990-2016 reveals that road, inland waterways, maritime, and air transport infrastructure positively influence gross domestic product per capita (GDPC), though a negative link occurred in the case of railway transport. As concerning investments in transport infrastructure, the empirical results exhibit a positive impact on economic growth for every type of transport, except inland waterways. Besides, emissions of CO 2 from all kind of transport, alongside other specific air pollutants, negatively influence GDPC. The fully modified and dynamic ordinary least squares panel estimation results reinforce the findings. Further, in the short-run, Granger causality based on panel vector error correction model pointed out a unidirectional causal link running from sustainable economic growth to inland waterways and maritime transport of goods, albeit a one-way causal link running from the volume of goods transported by air to GDPC. As well, the empirical results provide support one-way short-run links running from GDPC to investments in road and inland waterway transport infrastructure. In addition, a bidirectional short-run link occurred between carbon dioxide emissions from railway transport and GDPC, whereas unidirectional relations with economic growth were identified in the case of carbon dioxide emissions from road and domestic aviation. In the long-run, a bidirectional causal relation was noticed between the length of the railways lines, investments in railway transport infrastructure, and GDPC, as well as a two-way causal link between the gross weight of seaborne goods handled in ports and GDPC.

“…P. Taneja (2012),have promoted use of flexible and sustainable infrastructures −though initially more costly, in view of the uncertainty; they may prove more economical over their entire life cycle& so the use of flexible and sustainable solutions infrastructures needs to be promoted.G.S. Dwarakish (2015)have presented a review on the role of ports on the development of a nation. The growth anddevelopment of ports leads to greater trade activity, increased supply, greater foreign reserves and reduced prices for commodities as a whole.…”
