1*. Abstract
This report presents results from a study to determine the relationship
between highway infrastructure and economic development in Indiana. Regression
models and a computer model was developed to estimate the annual long-term impacts
of highway construction on economic growth. Results from an analysis of
economic impacts of the construction of 13 four-lane highway sections in Indiana,
as well as an analysis of national data concerning industrial location determinants,
are also presented.
