讲座内容：
This study explores the impact of transportation infrastructure development on regional growth, with a focus on the theoretical role of distance in urban and regional economics. We propose and apply a Spatial Computable General Equilibrium Model to 229 urban and rural areas in Korea. Our analysis specifically examines the changes in Korea's spatial economic structure following reductions in travel times between Seoul and its three major southern cities. The findings of this research are used to discuss and suggest potential directions for regional policy. This paper contributes to the understanding of infrastructure's role in spatial economic dynamics and policy development.
