Abstract

This paper evaluates a large urban public works program randomly rolled out across neighborhoods of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. We find the program increased public employment and reduced private labor supply among beneficiaries and improved local amenities in treated locations. We then combine a spatial equilibrium model and unique commuting data to estimate the spillover effects of the program on private sector wages across neighborhoods: under full program rollout, wages increased by 18.6 percent. Using our model, we show that welfare gains to the poor are six times larger when we include the indirect effects on private wages and local amenities. (JEL H76, I38, J22, J31, O15, O18, R23)
空间均衡中的城市公共工程:埃塞俄比亚的实验证据
本文对在埃塞俄比亚亚的斯亚贝巴各社区随机推出的一项大型城市公共工程计划进行了评估。我们发现,该计划增加了公共就业,减少了受益者的私人劳动力供应,并改善了受影响地区的当地设施。然后,我们结合空间均衡模型和独特的通勤数据,估算了该项目对各社区私营部门工资的溢出效应:在项目全面推广的情况下,工资增长了 18.6%。利用我们的模型,我们表明,如果将对私人工资和当地便利设施的间接影响计算在内,贫困人口的福利收益将增加六倍。(JEL H76, I38, J22, J31, O15, O18, R23)

期刊介绍: ACS Central Science publishes significant primary reports on research in chemistry and allied fields where chemical approaches are pivotal. As the first fully open-access journal by the American Chemical Society, it covers compelling and important contributions to the broad chemistry and scientific community. "Central science," a term popularized nearly 40 years ago, emphasizes chemistry's central role in connecting physical and life sciences, and fundamental sciences with applied disciplines like medicine and engineering. The journal focuses on exceptional quality articles, addressing advances in fundamental chemistry and interdisciplinary research.
