Abstract

During the development stage, provision of transportation infrastructure is ven; important. It contnbutes
to the regional economy and makes economic development more inclusive by giving direct
and indirect effects. The aim of research wants to know the role of road infrastructure to regional
economy in long term periods.
Having panel data in the regional level (province) which is 26 provinces and a 14-year time series
(1993-2006), variables that are used in this stud!; are GDP as the output measurement, labor force
and capital stock which is divided into road capital stock and non road capital stock. Road capital
stock itself is comprised of national, province and city road capital stock.
Based on the model in analysis, we can say road infrastructure has significant contributions to the
regional econonn; where city roads give the highest contnbution to the regional econonn;. In addition,
based on the time lag model, we can see that the investment in road development will have a significant
effect on GDP in the curre11t year, as well as in the following .few years, but the effect diminishes
over time. However, the significant contnbution of road development to GDP only remains for 1 year
for all types of road.
Some polictj implications that can be proposed from the above analysis are: it is still necessary to
increase the development of road infrastructure in order to provide good accessibility for all regions in
Indonesia; so government should give priorihJ to develop city and province roads rather than national
roads to increase the regional output (regional GDP). On the other hand government should
make it a priority to develop strategies for the development of road infrastructure based on the specific
needs of each region so it will be more effective and efficient in encouraging regional economic growth
and, ultimately, in enhancing high economic growth in Indonesia as a whole.
