This paper builds upon Krugman (1991) and Murata and Thisse (2005) to examine the impact of infrastructure investment on regional development, above all regional price indices, the allocation of employment among regions, and the number of consumption goods at each region. Two regions are assumed in the model. While one region has only two sectors, i.e. the housing sector and the manufacturing sector, the other region has the additional sector of infrastructure construction, which improves the efficiency of both inter-regional and intra-regional transactions. Given the assumption that the infrastructure investment in one region may have differential effects upon inter-regional and intra-regional transactions, it is interesting to examine the conditions of its effect on regional development.
