This report presents a county-level analysis of ports and roads infrastructure investment for California. Positive impacts from county-level port investment on manufacturing output is found by estimating county-level production functions for the manufacturing industry. Overall, the authors find that the effects of investment by neighboring counties is is mixed, with some counties having small ports experiencing positive effects, while negative effects are experienced by some counties having larger ports. In addition, the authors find mixed spillover effects of port investment in neighboring counties on counties having no ports.
