高铁对经济发展的影响

Impact of High-Speed Railway on Economic Development

高铁与社会经济发展的关系受到了学术界和政府部门的共同关注。该文系统地综述了近年来有关高铁影响经济发展的理论和实证研究。一方面,总结了高铁影响经济发展的理论机制,回顾了高铁对可达性、人口流动和聚集、劳动力就业、生产率等方面的影响,突出介绍了高铁对经济空间结构的影响。另一方面,总结了高铁对产业的影响和对区域经济增长的影响。在此基础上,讨论了高铁可能带来的负面效应,并提出了相应的政策建议。最后就研究内容提出了一些建议。

Both academia and government have shown an increasingly common interest in the relationship between the high-speed railway and socioeconomic development.This paper provides a systematic review of the recent theoretical and empirical literature on the impact of the high-speed railway on economic development.On the one hand,we summarize theoretical mechanisms that underline how high-speed rail affects economic development and review studies that explored the influence of high-speed rail on accessibility,population mobility and agglomeration,labor employment,and productivity.In particular,we focus on how high-speed rail affects the structure of the spatial economy.On the other hand,we summarize the effect of high-speed rail on industry and regional economic growth,based on which we further discuss the possible negative effects of introducing highspeed rail and provide some potential policy recommendations.At last,we suggest some promising research questions for future studies.
