Oh hi Sergio! Hope you're doing well. I'm not in the economics field anymore, but it would be cool to see if an economist could use this data. It's probably a little harder to use because you'd have to apply some vectorization techniques on the maps to get more usable road network data.

Definitely true! But if there's a good question then that's definitely doable.

Also I noted your change of field; your github repos and starred repos that pop up on my github main page are much more interesting that the usual r/stata repos

Thanks agains for the contributions, GIS and carto are definitely a super fun and useful field with a greater bang-for-the-buck than most economic papers!
