Abstract | The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of urbanization on infrastructure and transportation in the level of provincial government expenditures by using the data of 76 provinces across Thailand. Previous research has shown that one of tools that can affect on urban growth is the urbanization level. In this paper, the model focuses on the formation of the endogenous function in terms of aggregations of total provincial expenditures between infrastructure and transportation in terms of per capita. The findings reveal the positive impact of urbanization on infrastructure provincial government expenditures as well as transportation expenditures. In this paper, it also examines the relationship between provincial expenditure growth and various exogenous variables that these can be considered as sources of expenditure growth on infrastructure and transportation. |
