Optimal road network and the gains from intranational trade
Keywords in English
Brasília experiment
Intranational trade
Optimal transport networks
Spatial economics
Abstract in English
I study the efficiency of the Brazilian road network and its welfare implications combining rich spatial data on roads and a spatial general equilibrium model calibrated to 557 Brazilian regions. I find that Brazil would gain 0.31% of welfare if better organize its current road network to promote internal trade. At the subnational level, the least developed regions in the country's north and northeast would be the most benefited ones from a hypothetical optimal reallocation scenario. I then use the construction of a new federal capital city in the last century in a quasi-experimental setting and find that a large-scale infrastructure project does influence the current spatial misallocation patterns in the Brazilian road network.

Abstract in Portuguese
Eu estudo a eficiência da rede rodoviária brasileira e suas consequências em termos de bem-estar utilizando dados de rodovias e um modelo de equilíbrio geral espacial calibrado para 557 regiões brasileiras. Eu encontro que o Brasil ganharia 0.31% de bem-estar se organizasse melhor sua atual rede de rodoviária para promover comércio interno. A nível subnacional, as regiões menos desenvolvidas no norte e nordeste do país seriam as mais beneficiadas do cenário hipotético de realocação ótima. Eu então uso a construção da nova capital nacional em meados do século passado em um contexto quasi-experimental e encontro que projetos de infraestrutura de larga escala influenciam o atual padrão de misallocation espacial na rede rodoviária brasileira.
