چکیده

This paper addresses the impact of transport infrastructure projects of manufacturing employment in Thai regions.

We find that roads and ports have a positive impact on industrial location, although the size of the impact is modest. Labor appears to be a more important location factor in Thailand. For the analysis of the data, geographical information systems (GE) appear to be a quite useful tool.
