By build Var model, Co-integration Rank Test and Granger Causality Tests, author illustrate the relation between passenger person-kilometers and rural per capita net income. The results show that there are one way lead relations and long-run equilibrium relationship between them. The increase of person-kilometers has positive influence on rural per capita net income.
