The purpose of this study is to assess the economic effect of living at the foot of the highway in a rural zone, in order to know if the distance between the highway and the populated center of residence has any economic effect. First, we chose the district of Tahuamanu to do the research because it had the proper features based on the methodology used, this was located in the rural zone of the province of Tahuamanu, department of Madre de Dios. Then the families of the district were divided in two groups, one was the control zone group and the other the influence zone group. The families from the populated centers located at the foot of the highway belonged to the first group (control zone), while the ones from the populated centers not located at the foot of the highway belonged to the second group (influence zone). Then the Propensity Score Matching technique was used to assess the economic effect on the families measured through the following variables: household income and the proportion of the household income due to agricultural and/or forestry activities. A negative effect was found on the first household income when residing in the influence zone; on the other way, for the proportion of the household income due to agricultural and/or forestry activities, there was no statistically significant effect. Finally, a series of recommendations are made on what to do about the obtained results.
