Highway capacity and economic growth

This article develops an alternative estimation strategy in order to establish the direction of causation from highway investment to economic growth. Specifically, this article searches for a connection between the level of highway capacity and the growth rate of per capita output. The first section lays out the conceptual growth. The next section describes the data and discusses empirical results, and the conclusion offers suggestions for future research.
