Most of the benefits of transportation infrastructure projects accrue in the form of time savings for users. In many cases, more than the half of the social benefits of investments in high ways, streets or airports is attributable to time savings. This document presents estimations of the Social Value of the Time for Mexico.

Utilizing the only available data from the INEGI for hours worked and remunerations paid in the manufacturing sector, we estimate the Social Value of the Time for 2006 to be 60.65 pesos an hour for general users of the Mexico City International Airport and of 110.54 an hour for its passengers. This estimate is consistent with other estimates using different methods proposed by two authorities. The estimates are also consistent with calculations carried out by the ILPES for Peru and by authors for North America.
