This paper investigates the relationships between urban highway construction and the de- centralization of jobs and workers'residential locations by industry between 1960 and 2000. Estimates indicate that highways cause signi…cantly greater amounts of residential than job de- centralization. Identi…cation of these treatment eects relies on exogenous variation available from planned portions of the federal highway system and variation across cities in the number of highways received due to these cities'relative locations. Each radial highway displaced an estimated 16 percent of the central city working population but only 6 percent of the jobs to the suburbs. These estimates are fairly consistent across industry. These results support the idea that local spillovers remain an important incentive for …rms to to cluster spatially, even in the face of transportation cost reductions. � Preliminary and Incomplete.
