A study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between highways and economic development in Indiana, using cross-sectional multiple regression analysis of data from 1980 through 1988. Seven highway variables in the broad categories of road conditions, highway mileage, and highway expenditures were used in conjunction with several other variables that were hypothesized to be significantly related to economic growth. Results indicated that highway mileage had a significant association with economic development in most cases. A sectoral model was used to investigate the impact of highways associated with 43 different standard industrial classification groups. Several forecasting models were developed for estimating the economic impact of the construction of two-lane highways, the upgrading of two-lane highways to four-lane highways, and the construction of new multilane highways in Indiana.
