  • Evidence from Ghanaian Railways∗
    Colonial Investments and Long-Term Development in Africa: Evidence from Ghanaian Railways∗ Remi JEDWABa Alexander MORADIb a Department of Economics, George Washington University, and STICERD, London School of Economics b Department of Economics, University of Sussex This Version: October 14th, 2012 Abstract: What is the impact of colonial public investments on long-term development? We investigate this issue by looking at the impact of railway construction on economic develop- ment in Ghana. Two railway lines were built by the British to link the coast to mining areas and the hinterland city of Kumasi. Using panel data at a fine spatial level over one century (11x11 km grid cells in 1891-2000), we find a strong effect of rail connectivity on the pro- duction of cocoa, the country’s main export commodity, and development, which we proxy by population and urban growth. First, we exploit various strategies to ensure our effects are causal: we show that pre-railway transport costs were prohibitively high, we provide ev- idence that line placement was exogenous, we find no effect for a set of placebo lines, and results are robust to instrumentation and nearest neighbor matching. Second, transportation infrastructure investments had large welfare effects for Ghanaians during the colonial period. Colonization meant both extraction and development in this context. Third, railway con- struction had a persistent impact: railway cells are more developed today despite a complete displacement of rail by other means of transport. We investigate the various channels of path dependence, including demographic growth, industrialization or infrastructure investments.

    A GUIDE TO BIRDING ON MARTHA'S VINEYARD Richard M. Sargent, Montclair, New Jersey A total of 35T species have been recorded on Martha’s Vineyard, This represents 85 per cent of all the hirds recorded in the state of Massa- chusetts, Prohably the Most faMous of theM, excluding the now extinct Heath Hen, was the Eurasian Curlew, first identified on February I8, 1978» and subsequently seen by several hundred birders during the Month that it reMained "on location." Of the 357 species, approxiMately 275 are regular, occuring annually. The variety of species present and the overall charM of the Vineyard Make it a fun place to bird. The Island is reached by ferry froM Woods Hole and if you plan to tahe your car it is very advisable, if not a necessity, to Make advance res- ervations with the SteaMship Authority for both in-season and out-of~ season trips. And heré a note of caution: Much of the property around the ponds and access to Many of the back areas is private property and posted. The areas discussed in this article are open to the public and offer a good cross-section of Vineyard birding areas. If there are private areas you want to cover, be sure to obtain perMission before entering them. The Vineyard is roughly triangular in shape with the base of the triangle twenty Miles, east to west, and the height, north to south, ten Miles. It is of glacial origin with Much of the north shore hilly and forMed by glacial Morain. To the south there are broad, fíat outwash plains cut by Many fresh water or brackish ponds separated froM the ocean by bar- rier beaches, Probably the best tiMe to bird the Vineyard is the Month of SepteMber.

    ​ Northeast Region ● The 11 states that make up the US Northeast Region are Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Massachusetts, Maryland, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. ● Major cities include New York City, Philadelphia, Boston, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. ● The Northeast is bordered to the north by Canada, to the west by the Midwest, to ​ ​ ​ ​ the south by the Southeast, and to the east by the Atlantic Ocean. ​ ​ ​ ​ ● Six of the states in this region are collectively known as the subregion; "New England States". They are Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. ● The Northeast states of Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania are often referred to as the subregion; “Middle Atlantic States”. ● Washington D.C., which is not a US state, is also considered part of the Northeast region. ● The climate of the Northeast varies by season. Winters are often extremely cold; especially in the northern most states such as Maine. The regions summers are generally warm and humid. ● The mouths of four major rivers pierce the coastline to empty into the Atlantic: Delaware River, Kennebec River, Hudson River, Connecticut River. ● The Northeast has from colonial times relied on fishing and seafaring as a major ​ ​ source of its economic strength. Maine's excellent lobster is shipped around the ​ ​ nation. Boston, one of the oldest seaports in America, makes what the locals consider the finest clam chowder. ​ ​ ● New York City ­ This city is one of the main tourist destinations in the world with attractions including; The Empire State Building, The Statue of Liberty, and Central Park.

  • Barnstable County Freight Study
    Barnstable County Freight Study February 13, 2015 Executive Summary This 2015 Cape Cod Freight Study is the first attempt by the Cape Cod Metropolitan Planning Organization to bring a comprehensive assessment of issues facing freight haulers to, from and within Barnstable County. The information in this study will help to identify the methods used to transport freight and provide recommendations to improve freight flexibility, speed-efficiency, fuel- efficiency, and safety. The study provides details regarding existing infrastructure, for each movement type (trucking, rail, and waterborne). Truck freight issues are focused on on-time reliability and routing options. The Cape’s arterial road and bridge network forms the backbone of freight routing – with significant constraints at the Cape Cod Canal area. Rail infrastructure is far more limited – with its own unique constraints at the rail bridge over the Cape Cod Canal. Waterborne freight is currently very limited, but the many ports and harbors of the Cape provide opportunities unique to the area. The study features data from a survey presented to local freight businesses. Respondents indicated their particular freight use and needs and support for investments to improve freight infrastructure. In order continue to make progress in improving freight safety and reliability, the following strategies are offered: Identify “Critical” Freight Commodities Encourage Specific Types of Freight Transportation Make Infrastructure Improvements for Freight Industry Update Truck Routes for MassDOT
