Abstract

Recently, there has been growing interest in newly developed econometric tools for counterfactual analysis when a treated unit experiences a policy intervention, requiring an artificial control group. Adopting penalised synthetic control methods, we quantify the causal impact of the multi-modal Øresund fixed link on adjacent cross-border regions in Skåne and Zealand. The results show Copenhagen benefits from reduced transport costs, though the impact is overlaid by the Great Belt strait fixed link, opened shortly before. An array of robustness tests and the supplementary analyses in the Appendix, in the online supplemental data, support the interpretations in the paper.
