‘No county left behind?’ The distributional impact of high-speed rail upgrades in China (2016, positive): “…and various aspects of economic development in both developing and developed countries (Ahlfeldt, 2011; Atack et al., 2010; Banerjee et al., 2012; Baum-Snow, 2007; Baum-Snow et al., 2012; Datta, 2012; Ghani et al., 2012; Donaldson, 2013; Duflo and Pande, 2007; Faber, 2014; Garcia-López, 2012;…”
From periphery to core: measuring agglomeration effects using high-speed rail (2018, background): “Our results similarly complement literature on suburbanization (Baum-Snow, 2007; Garcia-López, 2012; Garcia-López, Holl, & Viladecans-Marsal, 2015) by showing that a HSR is less likely to decentralize population to suburbs than a highway.”
Career Incentives of City Leaders and Urban Spatial Expansion in China (2020, background): “High-incentive city leaders may be appointed to cities with better transportation infrastructure, which facilitates outward urban expansion (Burchfield et al., 2006; Baum-Snow, 2007; Baum-Snow et al., 2017).”
California Dreamin’: The Feeble Case for Cluster Policies (2011, background): “There is also mounting evidence showing that cities exhibiting more of what is often referred to pejoratively as urban sprawl may enjoy better outcomes (Glaeser and Kahn, 2001 and 2004) and possibly faster growth (Baum-Snow, 2007).”
On the road: Access to transportation infrastructure and economic growth in China (2012, background): “For example, Chan et al. (2011) documents the immobility of capital in China during the period of our study.5 Since we began our study in 2004, a growing number of recent papers have developed compelling identification strategies to evaluate the impact of transportation infrastructure. Most existing”

Was Postwar Suburbanization "White Flight"? Evidence from the Black Migration (2010, neutral): “Recent studies put more emphasis on transportation improvements, including the automobile and new road building, which reduce the time cost of commuting from bedroom communities (LeRoy and Sonstelie 1983; Baum-Snow 2007; Kopecky and Suen 2007).”
Accessibility in Cities: Transport and Urban Form (2017, background): “For US metropolitan regions, empirical estimates show that each new highway constructed through an urban core led to an 18 per cent decline in central city residents (Baum-Snow 2007).”
