Journal Title: Logistics and Transport - Year 2018, Vol 38, Issue 2
Abstract
The aim of this article is to confirm the hypothesis that „the developed logistic and transport infrastructure of the region has contributed to the improvement of the economic performance of the region”. The article presents research showing the relationship between the developed elements of logistic and transport infrastructures of regions (density of roads, density of railway networks, size of warehouse space, number of intermodal trans-shipment terminals, tonnage transported in tonnes) and economic performance of regions (regional GDP, private capital productivity). The study is based on the regions of Poland with special attention to Silesia region. The results indicate that the liberalization and computerization of the TFL sector is desirable by industry leaders of the region. The research proposals can help TFL authorities, decision-makers, and leaders to make investment decisions regarding logistics and transport infrastructure.
