The microeconomic effects of infrastructure: Experimental evidence from street pavement
We design an infrastructure experiment in Mexico to evaluate the impact of firsttime asphalting of inhabited residential streets on property values and household outcomes. We find substantial impacts on housing values (+16%) and land values (+54%). At the household level, street paving increased the use of collateral-based credit, and had strong effects on vehicle ownership (+43%), durable good...

Relative to employment, the number of businesses is at best weakly increasing in output per worker. In many models of firm dynamics, trade and growth, these facts imply that the cost of creating a new firm or plant increases sharply with productivity. This in...
متن کاملDiscounting of Long Term Costs: What Would Future Generations Prefer Us to Do?
Decisions with intergenerational consequences may leave future generations worse off (i.e., not be Pareto optimal) if costs and benefits are not discounted correctly. We point out that this happens if the conventional social discount rate is applied to intergenerational costs: with this rate the justification of intergenerational costs (benefits of a project are invested and the proceeds can co...
متن کاملComparison of life cycle assessment tools for road pavement infrastructure
Road pavements have considerable environmental burdens associated with their initial construction, maintenance and usage, which has led the pavement stakeholder community make congregate efforts to better understand and mitigate these negative effects. Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a versatile methodology to quantify the effect of decisions regarding the selection of resources and processes. H...
