Nell'ultimo decennio si è verificato un cresciuto interesse per gli effetti causali delle infrastrutture di trasporto su diversi aspetti di sviluppo economico. Ciò è stato possibile grazie ad innovazioni in modellazioni teoriche e alla disponibilità di dati. Dopo aver analizzato quali sono queste innovazioni, in questo lavoro, cerco di raggruppare i lavori più importanti che hanno plasmato il campo della ricerca, così come le principali fallacie che i ricercatori hanno dovuto e dovranno affrontare per ottenere una comprensione più profonda della relazione causale tra infrastrutture di trasporto e sviluppo economico.

Abstract
In the last decade, there has been growing interest in the causal effects of transport infrastructure on various aspects of economic development. This has been possible thanks to innovations in theoretical designs, and data availability. In this work, after analyzing what the before-mentioned innovations consist of, I try to regroup the most important works that shaped the research field, as well as the biggest fallacies that researchers had to and will face in gaining a deeper understanding of the causal relationship between transport infrastructure and economic development.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
