While there are many contributory factors to the poor economic outcomes of many UK regions\, this paper argues that the concentration of public investment is in and around London and the South East. The appraisal process for infrastructure investment projects follows the methodological set out in the Treasury’s Green Book\, with major funding allocation decisions almost wholly centralised. In this paper\, Diane Coyle argues that this methodology has reinforced the regional imbalance of the UK economy; that recent changes to the appraisal methods are welcome but unlikely by themselves to redress the London bias in infrastructure decisions; and that although evidence-based appraisal is important\, infrastructure investments also need to be based on a strategic view about economic development for the whole of the UK. \nPlease contact the seminar organisers Philip Arestis (pa267@cam.ac.uk) and Michael Kitson m.kitson@jbs.cam.ac.uk) in the event of a query.
