Resumen

En países de ingresos bajos o medios, la relación entre la infraestructura de transporte y el desarrollo urbano no es clara. Perú presenta una oportunidad única para estudiar esta relación, debido a que existe un transporte masivo que atraviesa zonas donde la planificación urbana no es una prioridad. Esta investigación evalúa el impacto del tren de la capital del Perú en la informalidad de vivienda. Para ello se utilizan datos georreferenciados que permiten identificar viviendas que están en zonas aledañas del tren. La heterogeneidad temporal de la implementación del tren permite estimar un modelo de Diferencias en Diferencias. Una vez que se asegura la comparabilidad de los grupos tratados y controles, el principal resultado sostiene una reducción en la informalidad de vivienda. Este resultado es robusto al utilizar otras definiciones de tratamiento y pruebas placebo.
