| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is theoretically and empirically to analyze relationship between infrastructure and employment. Especially, infrastructure or public investment may crowd out the non- constructional employment in the labour market. We empirically analyzed that the infrastructure or public investment decrease non-construction employment and increase construction employment by using prefecture panel data.
However, we could not have statistically significant evidence which infrastructures or public investments decrease non-construction employment and increase construction employment unfortunately. We will investigate this theme in the future.
