Some remarks on the measure of effectiveness of freight transport

Abstract


This paper includes a definition of the indicator of the effectiveness of spatial trade on the macro scale. The degree of efficiency of a given sector, for example transportation, is determined by the relation of production and its cost. This relationship can be evaluated by various models of spatial economies. One of the possible way is considered in this study.
