Abstract The paper examines changes in economic activity occurring in municipalities around the motorway D11, after a new section of motorway has been opened in 2006. The aim of the paper is to determine the extent to which the detected changes in the region can be connected with the opening of the motorway section. The changes in establishment and extinction of firms with distinction by industry sector are evaluated using descriptive analysis and Difference in differences method. The results of the research show certain manifestations regarding the opening of the motorway, since the changes in firm birth intensity are the highest in the group of municipalities that are within 8–12 min' drive from the motorway, and with increasing distance from the motorway the intensity decreases. The link with the proximity of the motorway indicates increase of firms in general, within sector categories it stands for manufacturing industry, construction and logistics. At the same time, for municipalities at the distance of 12–20 min away we recorded slight decrease of firm birth intensity in comparison to a period before opening of the motorway section. These results indicate that the main road infrastructure positively influences only the nearest area.

新高速公路周围企业和选定行业分布的空间变化

摘要 本文考察了 2006 年高速公路的新路段开通后，D11 高速公路周围城市经济活动的变化。本文的目的是确定该地区检测到的变化在多大程度上可以与高速公路路段的开通。运用描述性分析和差异差异法，对分行业区分的企业的设立和消亡变化进行评价。研究结果表明高速公路的开通有一定的表现，因为在距高速公路8-12分钟车程范围内的城市组中，随着距高速公路距离的增加，企业生育强度的变化最大强度降低。与高速公路附近的联系表明公司总体上有所增加，在行业类别中，它代表制造业、建筑业和物流业。同时，对于距离 12-20 分钟路程的城市，与高速公路段开通前相比，我们记录到的出生强度略有下降。这些结果表明，主要道路基础设施仅对最近的区域产生积极影响。
