Abstract

Following Bergstrom and Goodman, private demand functions for publicly provided rural roads in Texas are estimated at the county level. Results show the effect of income and tax rate (price) to have the expected effect and the demand for rural roads to have changed over time. In particular, demand has become more inelastic, and the influence of income on demand has moderated.
