This paper investigates the effects of investments in transport infrastructure on the number of firms in the state of Mato Grosso between 2003 and 2010. Using panel data and an accessibility variable based on travel time, the study addresses endogeneity issues related to firm location. The results indicate a positive correlation between accessibility and the number of firms, especially in the transport and manufacturing sectors. These findings support the importance of public policies aimed at improving road infrastructure as a strategy for regional economic development.
