Excited this is finally out as @nberpubs working paper. New results in this updated version where we decompose welfare effects into distinct qualitative transportation channels. Read the paper and learn about what exactly drives the welfare effects of transport investments.

U.S. freight is a network of networks.

This figure from @SimonFuchs4 and @WoanFoongWong's "Multimodal Transport Networks" paper shows traffic across rail, roads, waterways, and ports.

More than half of distance-weighted U.S. freight uses multiple modes.

They show the most important bottlenecks are not always on the road or rail line itself, but at the places where goods switch between them.

@YotovG @Beshkar @Ekwonomist Curiosity. Why Stata and Julia? Was it relatively easy to implement in Julia?

[Simon Fuchs (🦊) @SimonFuchs4]

@AlfredGalichon @PrincetonUPress Yup.

Yes, one can always carve out a category. But #2 in Amazon's Econometrics & Statistics — behind @JohnAList's book — is real enough for me.
