It provides a typology of big data sources relevant to transportation analyses and describes how these data can be used to measure mobility, associated externalities, and welfare impacts. As an application, it showcases the use of daily traffic conditions data in various developed and developing country cities to estimate the causal impact of stay-at-home orders during the Covid-19 pandemic on traffic congestion in Bogotá, New Dehli, New York, and Paris. In light of the advances in big data analytics, the paper concludes with a discussion on policy opportunities and challenges. 2020-07-06T15:10:07Z 2020-07-06T15:10:07Z 2020-06 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/144551593524811620/Big-Data-in-Transportation-An-Economics-Perspective http://hdl.handle.net/10986/34023 English Policy Research Working Paper;No. 9308 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Colombia France India United States
