Abstract

This paper investigates the relationship between urbanization and individual incomes by exploring the role of transport costs in the process of urbanization. Our empirical framework is built on the importance of the transport networks, especially roads, in creating urban agglomerations and new towns. We find that, although this relationship exists, it is not, necessarily, direct. Productive structure and local labor market are important channels that link urbanization and individual income in emerging towns around the roads. There is no statistically significant relationship between the accumulation of human capital in those towns and the individual incomes differently from the findings for large and medium-sized cities.
