Yet balancing the growing demand for infrastructure with its supply is often difficult. In particular, many cities lack the funding to maintain and expand streets and urban highways.
Geographic targeting is perhaps the most
popular mechanism used to direct social programs to the poor

The authors empirically estimate the
