Accessibility and population patterns: A study of the expansion of the rail network in Madrid (1998–2020)
This study examines the relationship between the expansion of the rail system in the Madrid metropolitan area and patterns of population redistribution between 1998 and 2020. We focus on two major Metro expansion phases, which together account for approximately 40 network. To capture the effects of improved infrastructure, we construct an accessibility measure based on the increase in job opportunities resulting from reductions in travel time. To…
Regional infrastructure investment and efficiency
Using Spanish data, this paper shows that improvements in the road network have a positive effect on private investment in capital assets, and this effect increases with the level of economic development of a geographical area. We use aggregate data at the provincial level between the years 1977–2008. Additionally, we propose a system of equations in order to approximate the long-run effects. We find statistical evidence of efficiency loss associ…
Job accessibility and job‐education mismatch in the metropolitan area of Barcelona
Wages and Accessibility: The Impact of Transport Infrastructure
Matas A., Raymond J.-L. and Roig J.-L. Wages and accessibility: the impact of transport infrastructure, Regional Studies. This paper contributes to the debate about the effect of accessibility on firms' productivity. It uses a micro-dataset that locates workplaces at the NUTS-3 level of regions. It elaborates an effective density variable using employment and interprovincial travel time data, allowing for a flexible time decay effect. The results…

Job Accessibility and Female Employment Probability: The Cases of Barcelona and Madrid
The objective of this paper is to estimate the impact of residential job accessibility on female employment probability in the metropolitan areas of Barcelona and Madrid. Following a ‘spatial mismatch’ framework, a female employment probability equation is estimated which includes variables controlling for personal characteristics, residential segregation and employment potential by public transport network. Data used come from the Micro-census 2…
