Using the introduction of high-speed rail (HSR) as an exogenous shock to costs of information acquisition, we show that … reductions in information-acquisition costs lead to (i) a significant increase in information production, evidenced by a higher … information lead to these effects becoming more pronounced. Importantly, more information production is also associated with …

Using the introduction of high-speed rail as exogenous shocks to costs of information acquisition, we show that … reductions in information-acquisition costs lead to a significant increase in information production and improvement in output … that information production represents the channel through which acquisition costs affect output quality. We corroborate …
