摘要
We study the impact of stimulus infrastructure spending on the road construction industry. We find that a decline in private construction during the Great Recession led to a marketable increase in firm participation in the road construction industry. This short-term change in participation translated into longer-term benefits for the survival of firms in this concentrated industry. Infrastructure spending increased market competitiveness even after the funds were expended. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
