• Abstract:
  This project provides case studies of the impact of transportation investments on local economies. We use multiple ; approaches to measure impacts since the effects of transportation projects can vary according to the size of a ; project and the size of the area under study, as well as other exogenous factors such as existing economic and ; demographic conditions. We measure effects on economic output and employment to estimate impacts of specific ; investments, and address issues of generative versus redistributive effects of investments, as well as identify ; specific economic sectors that might be disproportionately affected by such investments.
