Research on the Relationship Between Economic Growth and Road Traffic Infrastructure in Inner Mongolia

Abstract

To characterize the relationship between economic growth and road traffic infrastructure, the PVAR model was established using the GDP and road transport infrastructure density of 12 cities in Inner Mongolia from 2000 to 2016. Economic growth and road traffic infrastructure are mutually reinforcing, but there are two years of lag. Through impulse response analysis, it is found that the promotion of road traffic infrastructure to economic growth is permanent, which is also in line with common sense. The impact of road traffic infrastructure on economic growth reached its maximum in the fifth period and gradually weakened.
