| Abstract | |
We estimate the impact of public transport system expansions on local informality rates for the Sao Paulo Metropolitan Region between 2000 and 2010. To do so, we compare the average changes in informality in areas which received new public transport infrastructure with the average changes in areas which were supposed to receive infrastructure according to official plans, but did not because of delays. After controlling for endogenous selection, we find that, on average, informality rates decreased more in areas receiving new public transport infrastructure compared to areas that faced project delays.
