  Effective 4-dimensional theories are investigated which were obtained under
dimensional reduction of multidimensional cosmological models with a minimal
coupled scalar field as matter source. Conditions for the internal space
stabilization are considered and the possibility for inflation in the external
space is discussed. The electroweak as well as the Planck fundamental scale
approaches are investigated and compared with each other. It is shown that
there exists a rescaling for the effective cosmological constant as well as for
gravitational exciton masses in the different approaches.
