Determining the Relationship between Transport Infrastructure and Employment: An Evidence from the Chinese Inland Provinces under the “One Belt, One Road” Initiative | Chapter 4 | Modern Perspectives in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 2

 The relationship between transportation infrastructure and employment in Chinese interior provinces immediately impacted by the “One Belt, One Road” plan is discussed in this chapter. In five Chinese inland regions immediately affected by the “One Belt, One Road” project, the authors looked at the interaction between trains and highways, two major pieces of transportation infrastructure and employment. For the years 2008-2017, data was gathered from China's National Bureau of Statistics and databases pertaining to "One Belt, One Road." To guarantee that the calculations were comparable across provinces and to examine the data, descriptive statistics and a graphic description technique were utilised. The findings show that there are ambiguous links between transportation infrastructure and employment, that transportation infrastructure has a positive effect on employment in some provinces but not in others over time, and that improving transportation infrastructure, as well as other relevant factors, should be considered for generating employment in the province.

The Relation between Transport Infrastructure and Trade | Chapter 1 | Insights into Economics and Management Vol. 8

 The effect of transportation infrastructure on trade in Chinese provinces directly impacted by the “One Belt, One Road” initiative is discussed in this chapter. That is why infrastructure is relevant in the “One Belt, One Road” initiative, and one of the initiative's main goals is to encourage unrestricted trade in China. Based on data from China's National Bureau of Statistics and articles related to "One Belt, One Road," the authors examined the effect of railways and highways, which are core elements of transportation infrastructure, on total value of exports and imports in Chinese inland provinces directly impacted by "One Belt, One Road." The inference is that railways and highways have a close relationship with trade, and the effects of various elements of transportation infrastructure vary among inland provinces affected by "One Belt, One Road," necessitating reasonable transportation infrastructure management in order to promote trade across provinces. This research will help with decisions about infrastructure investment to ensure purposeful TVEI in the future as the OBOR is implemented.
