      <dc:description>The aim of this study is to analyse whether the economic resources invested in&#xd;
roads—both investment in construction and expenditure on maintenance and conservation—have any&#xd;
influence on road fatality rates. Since this is a complex problem, and because there are many factors&#xd;
that can influence the fatality rate, other variables related to specific transport, socioeconomic and&#xd;
meteorological factors are also considered. The study was carried out using a panel data model,&#xd;
modelling road mortality as a function of 12 variables. The scope of the study is international,&#xd;
focusing on the interurban road network. Data were collected from 23 European countries for the&#xd;
period 1998–2016. The main results obtained are that both expenditure on road maintenance and&#xd;
conservation and the proportion of motorways in the total road network contribute to reducing road&#xd;
mortality. Contrariwise, greater investment in construction leads to an increase in the fatality rate.</dc:description>
