What determines the aggregate and distributional effects of new transportation infrastructure? One key overlooked … channel is the role that infrastructure policy plays in changing the incentives of firms to enter, exit, and grow--in turn … generating endogenous changes in local productivity. In this paper, we document and quantify the importance of this channel by …
