The identification strategy employs difference-in-difference estimators with staggered adoption design. The results show strong contemporaneous effects of electrifying municipalities that already have access to a highway, whereas electrification or highway provision alone may, at best, have no effect. Infrastructure investments also facilitated long-lasting structural transformation effects, with both types of infrastructure access spurring growth of the industrial output share.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOBRAZILELECTRICITYHIGHWAYSINFRASTRUCTURE COMPLEMENTARIESLOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTAFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGYSDG 7INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURESDG 9SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND COMMUNITIESSDG 11Working PaperWorld Bank10.1596/1813-9450-10785
