We find that railways require sufficient human capital and law enforcement to generate sustained local growth. Read the full paper here: doi.org/10.1016/j.jd...

@neubertmagnus.bsky.social presented his new paper with Stefan Nikolic, examining the economic effects of railways in #Bosnia during #Habsburg rule. Their findings challenge the idea that #railways always bring prosperity, highlighting the role of local conditions. 🚂 #lse #econhist #economics
