TLDR
In this paper, the effect of access to transportation networks on regional economic outcomes in China over a twenty-period of rapid income growth was investigated, and it was shown that proximity to a transportation network has a moderate positive causal effect on per capita GDP levels across sectors, but no effect on overall GDP growth.Abstract:
This paper estimates the effect of access to transportation networks on regional economic outcomes in China over a twenty-period of rapid income growth. It addresses the problem of the endogenous placement of networks by exploiting the fact that these networks tend to connect historical cities. Our results show that proximity to transportation networks have a moderate positive causal effect on per capita GDP levels across sectors, but no effect on per capita GDP growth. We provide a simple theoretical framework with empirically testable predictions to interpret our results. We argue that our results are consistent with factor mobility playing an important role in determining the economic benefits of infrastructure development.read more

Road expansion, allocative efficiency, and pro-competitive effect of transport infrastructure: Evidence from China
TL;DR: In this article , the authors exploited the rapid expansion of China's road infrastructure in the 2000s to empirically investigate the procompetitive effect of transport infrastructure via the allocative efficiency channel, showing that mass construction of new road infrastructure, by lowering domestic trade costs, can significantly reduce markup dispersion of industries with high reliance on transportation.

Some Tests of Specification for Panel Data: Monte Carlo Evidence and an Application to Employment Equations.
Manuel Arellano,Stephen Bond +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator optimally exploits all the linear moment restrictions that follow from the assumption of no serial correlation in the errors, in an equation which contains individual effects, lagged dependent variables and no strictly exogenous variables.

Biases in dynamic models with fixed effects
John J. Beggs,Marc Nerlove +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined bias in dynamic models with fixed effects where both the number of time series observations and cross-sectional replications are small, and the formula bias estimate was in line with that in published Monte Carlo studies.
