Airports and urban sectoral employment (2014, positive): “In particular, the identification strategy employed here is informed by recent work on the effects of roads by Baum-Snow (2007), Michaels (2008), Duranton and Turner (2011; 2012), and Duranton, Morrow, and Turner (forthcoming), each of which uses the federal highway plan from 1944 or 1947 to…”
How Does Transportation Shape Intrametropolitan Growth? An Answer from the Regional Express Rail (2017, neutral): “Duranton and Turner (2011) and Hsu and Zhang (2014) provide intermetropolitan evidence for the effect of highway improvements on congestion in the U.S. and Japan, respectively.”
Supply Skepticism: Housing Supply and Affordability (2019, neutral): “Although building additional highways does appear to induce more demand (Duranton & Turner, 2011), in the case of housing, additional demand is unlikely to completely offset the new supply.”

Urban spatial structure, suburbanization and transportation in Barcelona (2012, methodology): “Duranton and Turner (2011, 2012) also use historic instruments such as the 19th century railroads and the 19th century major expedition routes. The use of Roman roads as instrumental variable is new to the literature. All three instruments are distances in straight line (km) from each tract centroid”
Government quality and the economic returns of transport infrastructure investment in European regions (2015, neutral): “…2012), whereas others have employed instruments based on historical factors correlated with the endogenous variables but exogenous to current economic conditions (Acemoglu, Johnson, and Robinson, 2001; Tabellini, 2010, for institutions; Duranton and Turner 2011, 2012, for transport infrastructure).”
