MEASURING REGIONAL ECONOMIC IMPACT OF CIPULARANG TOLL ROAD INVESTMENTS: USING AN INPUT-OUTPUT MODEL (CASE STUDY: BANDUNG DISTRICT)

Transportation sector is an integral part of a region economics, freight transportation in Indonesia still dominated by road transport, therefore improvements in road network performance by expanding its capacity should decrease the costs of freight transportation and generate a better performance of production sector. From the regional economic point of view, representing a competitive advantage of locations (accessibility improvement), reduce logistic cost and expected to develop the regional economy. This paper aims to estimate the regional economic impact of the region connected (case study: Bandung District) by the new transport infrastructure investment (Cipularang Toll road, in West Java) using the input-output simulation model.
