• Abstract:
  A brief examination is made of the effects of highway improvements on the economic sector of rural Missouri counties. Sixty-five rural counties with four lane highways (maintained by the Missouri Department of Transportation) are included in the regression analysis with multiple indicators of economic change. Results indicate little benefit from highway improvement, as defined for this study, exists for rural counties.
