Abstract

The present study aims to analyze the spatial spillover effects of transportation infrastructures on the economic growth in Brazilian states through the application of a spatial econometric technique (Spatial Durbin Model). The results demonstrate that road infrastructure has the greatest impact on economic growth, and that the spatial unit neighboring highways are most relevant to their growth than their own infrastructure. Still, some infrastructures showed insignificant or negative spillovers.
