Abstract

This paper analyzes the ways and mechanism of the impact of high-speed railway on local economy, and summarizes the impact of the construction and operation of high-speed railway on local economy as four positive effects: agglomeration effect, diffusion effect, urbanization and regional economic integration, and a negative effect of siphon effect. Taking Zhengxi high-speed railway as an example, using different quantitative calculation methods, this paper analyzes the three effects of agglomeration effect, diffusion effect and urbanization, and finds that the accessibility and economic volume of cities along the line have been greatly improved before and after the opening of high-speed railway.

Highlights

  • The development of regional economy is inseparable from the take-off of transportation industry

  • The results show that suburban commuter railway is more suitable for regional stop mode

  • This paper summarizes four theories related to transportation and regional economy, such as growth pole theory and point axis development theory, briefly introduces the definition of high-speed railway and its technical and economic advantages, summarizes the mechanism of the impact of highspeed railway on local economy in three aspects: optimizing regional industrial structure and spatial structure, and summarizes its specific impact as agglomeration effect, diffusion effect it introduces the quantitative analysis methods for the three effects of agglomeration effect, diffusion effect and urbanization

Summary

Introduction

The development of regional economy is inseparable from the take-off of transportation industry. FEMAND Martin [1] pointed out that the construction of high-speed railway can greatly promote the improvement of transportation capacity along the line and optimize the allocation of transportation resources. David Ellis [3] built a traffic demand model, predicted various benefits brought by the construction of high-speed railway to Tennessee, such as time benefits, accessibility benefits, etc., and came to the conclusion that high-speed railway will promote the economic development of Tennessee. Railway and its technical and economic advantages, summarizes the mechanism of the impact of highspeed railway on local economy in three aspects: optimizing regional industrial structure and spatial structure, and summarizes its specific impact as agglomeration effect, diffusion effect it introduces the quantitative analysis methods for the three effects of agglomeration effect, diffusion effect and urbanization. The results show that the accessibility of major cities is improved greatly
