Economic infrastructure investments (i.e. highways, power generation and water facilities) can directly increase regional production potential, and social infrastructure investments (i.e. education and healthcare) can aid regional income by improving labour productivity. This study identifies how different types of infrastructure expenditures affect regional incomes in Turkey. As per results drawn from data of 2004-08, infrastructure expenditures enhance regional income in Turkey. Social infrastructure investments and education expenditures demonstrate greater impact on regional income.en10.1080/00343404.2015.1041369info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRegional incomeSocial infrastructureEconomic infrastructurePanel data analysisArticle50915091519Q1WOS:000380373900005Q1
