Transportation infrastructure and productivity: evidence from Colombia
(CAF, 2008)
This paper analyses the role of transport infrastructure in determining plant level TFP. We calculate TFP from the annual manufacturing surveys using accounting and econometric procedures. We find that differential access ...

Development effects of electrification: evidence from the geologic placement of hydropower plants in Brazil
(CAF, 2011)
We estimate the development effects of electrification across Brazil over the period 1960-2000. Brazil relies almost exclusively on hydropower, which requires intercepting water at high velocity. We build an engineering ...
Public-infraestructure and energy-subsidy policies, energy access by the poor and long-term macroeconomic performance
