We study the direct effect of a light rail line built in Florence (Italy) on the retail density of the street where it was built and its spillover effect on other streets in the treated street\u2019s neighbourhood. To this aim, we investigate the use of the synthetic control group (SCG) methods in panel comparative case studies where interference between the treated and the untreated units is plausible, an issue still little researched in the SCG methodological literature. We frame our discussion in the potential outcomes approach. Under a partial interference assumption, we formally define relevant direct and spillover causal effects.<\/p>\n\n<p><a><strong>Keywords<\/strong>: direct effects<\/a>,\u00a0<a>light rail<\/a>,\u00a0<a>retail location<\/a>,\u00a0<a>spillover effects<\/a>,\u00a0<a>synthetic control method<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/academic.oup.com\/jrsssa\/advance-article-abstract\/doi\/10.1093\/jrsssa\/qnae032\/7639151\">\u21d2 Read article in the magazine<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Article published in &#8220;Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series A: Statistics in Society&#8221; edited by G.
