Infrastructure and Finance: Evidencefrom India's GQ Highway Network

June 11, 2019

We use the construction of Indiaís Golden Quadrangle (GQ) central highway network, together with comprehensive loan data drawn from the Reserve Bank of India, to investigate the interaction between infrastructure development and Önancial sector depth. We identify a disproportionate increase in loan count and average loan size in districts along the GQ highway network using stringent speciÖcations with industry and district Öxed e§ects. Our results hold in straight-line IV frameworks and are not present in ëplacebo testsíwith another highway that was planned to be upgraded at the same time as GQ but subsequently delayed.
