Long-Range Growth : Economic Development in the Global Network of Air Links

Campante, Filipe R. - 2016

We study the impact of international long-distance flights on the global spatial allocation of economic activity. To identify causal effects, we exploit variation due to regulatory and technological constraints which give rise to a discontinuity in connectedness between cities at a distance of...
