This paper proposes a simultaneous-equation approach to the estimation of the contribution of transport infrastructure accumulation to regional growth. We model explicitly the political-economy process driving infrastructure investments; in doing so, we eliminate a potential source of bias in production-function estimates and generate testable hypotheses on the forces that shape infrastructure policy. Our empirical findings on a panel of France's regions over 1985-92 suggest that electoral concerns and influence activities were, indeed, significant determinants of the cross-regional allocation of transportation infrastructure investments. By contrast, we find little evidence of concern for the maximization of economic returns to infrastructure spending, even after controlling for pork-barrel.

Over the last decade, sector-specific regulation has been used to promote competition in European network industries. Given that competition is still rudimentary in some sectors, this process is still not finished. As a result, Member States have continued to remove regulatory barriers in network industries. This paper discusses the experiences from the energy, telecommunications and transport sectors by focussing on the role of European competition policy. We review a number of important case decisions in merger control, anti-trust and state aid control and discuss their implications for market opening. We conclude that a more holistic approach is needed in order to increase the effectiveness of competition policy instruments, i.e. a closer co-ordination of competition instruments, in particular state aid and anti-trust/merger policy.

Purpose - This case study sets out to draw a detailed picture of the business relationships between Gildemeister Lathes Ltd and its two competing in-suppliers, Siemens and Heidenhain.
Design/methodology/approach - On the basis of a profound analysis of the relationship context and by identifying the drivers of commitment the reader should identify some starting-points to develop a sales strategy in order to keep and raise Siemens' share of the business with Gildemeister.
Findings - The case study enables the discussion of customer value-drivers within a relationship context and puts an emphasis on the assessment of a multi-stage marketing-approach focusing on different units within a complex customer organisation and taking into account the "customer's customer" -perspective.
Originality/value - This paper provides a detailed case study of Gildemeister Lathes Ltd, Siemens, and Heidenhain.
