• Public Infrastructure and Economic Development: Evidence from Postal Systems A Replication Study of Rogowski et al. (American Journal of Political Science, 2022)

  Vol. 4 No. 5 (2025)

  Rogowski et al. (2022) use secondary data to study the impact of historic postal infrastructure on
  economic development, both cross-country and within the US. Their results suggest a large positive
  effect of post offices on economic development that is robust across various sensitivity checks. We
  successfully computationally reproduce all results. In a robustness assessment, we find the results to
  be robust to simple changes in the analysis but observe some sensitivity to accounting for spatial
  trends in the long-term cross-country analysis. Despite this, we find the results to be overall robust
  given the numerous analyses and robustness checks in the original paper.
