Motorways, local economic activity and commuting

Regional Studies, 2023
This paper investigates the causal effects of the development of the Portuguese motorway network between 1981 and 2011 on the size of the local economy and the commuting of workers. We use instrumental variables based on transport networks from the late 18th century and 1945 as sources of pseudo-random variation for the location of motorways.
