| Summary: | Estimating ex-ante distributional
impacts of road infrastructure is increasingly important to
better understand the poverty effects of these investments.
This note presents such analysis for the ongoing 4th
generation (4G) road concessions program in Colombia, which
involves the concession of 40 new roads and the
transformation of 8,170 kilometers of road network. An
ex-ante evaluation of the program suggests that 180,000 jobs
will be created and that moderate and extreme poverty would
decline by 0.5 and 0.3 percentage points, respectively. |
