Abstract

The efficiency of major transport projects in terms of resources should be always a critical factor in decision-making. The method traditionally used to evaluate the socioeconomic profitability of investments in transport infrastructure is cost-benefit analysis. However, efficiency benefits are unevenly distributed among the project’s stakeholders and, in practice, transport infrastructure investment entails a diversity of redistributive effects that are actually relevant in the decision-making process. The reality is that investment decisions are made on the basis of some form of explicit or implicit use of multi-criteria analysis encompassing both the results obtained in the cost-benefit analysis and other policy (or simply political) considerations implying some sort of redistribution. This paper proposes a classification of the differential impacts of major transport infrastructure projects (redistribution effects), including territorial, social, environmental and intergenerational impacts. Its aim is to generate awareness of their existence and to facilitate their consideration in the decision-making process so it becomes more transparent. Redistribution effects, which should be considered alongside the socioeconomic and financial assessment, are seldom reflected in a systematic way in the decisions on major infrastructure investments. The proposed classification should facilitate a more consistent incorporation of these effects in the decision-making process.

交通基础设施投资再分配效应的分类
主要运输项目在资源方面的效率应始终是决策的一个关键因素。传统上用于评估交通基础设施投资的社会经济盈利能力的方法是成本效益分析。然而,效率效益在项目的利益相关者之间分配不均,而且在实践中,交通基础设施投资需要在决策过程中实际相关的各种再分配效应。现实情况是,投资决策是在某种形式的明确或隐含地使用多标准分析的基础上作出的,这些分析既包括在成本效益分析中获得的结果,也包括暗示某种再分配的其他政策(或简单的政治)考虑。本文提出了主要交通基础设施项目的差异影响分类(再分配效应),包括领土、社会、环境和代际影响。其目的是使人们认识到这些问题的存在,并促进在决策过程中对其进行审议,从而使决策过程更加透明。再分配效应应该与社会经济和财务评估一起考虑,但在重大基础设施投资决策中很少以系统的方式反映出来。拟议的分类应有助于在决策过程中更一致地纳入这些影响。
