赵涵堃 | 中国高铁发展的区域经济影响和体制挑战

▇ 论文摘要：

 

本文从经济和体制两个角度研究了高铁对区域发展的影响以及中国高铁发展模式的可复制性和可持续性，旨在总结中国高铁建设的经验，为相关国家政府提供参考。本文的两个研究包括：（1）探究接入高铁网络在长期和短期内，对不同区域城市以及高铁沿线不同经济禀赋的城市在产业结构、城市创造力和城乡收入差距方面的影响；（2）探究在引进、吸收和创新高铁技术的过程中，政府主导的政产学研体系的优缺点及其调整方向。

 

关于第一个研究，高铁建设与城市发展的问题，笔者基于相关理论、多期双重差分法以及描述性统计得到以下发现：首先，高铁的开通能够显著提高中国东部城市第三产业的比重；其次，高铁的开通能够促进城市第一和第三产业的创造力，尤其在经济较发达城市和非东部城市更显著；而从局部来看，高铁的开通显著地提高了节点城市第三产业的创造力，且交通可达性条件越好的节点城市（经过高铁线路越多），其创造力的提高相对于那些非节点城市越显著；第三，接通高铁网络仅会扩大经济欠发达地区的城乡收入差距，且这种扩大效应在经济较差的局部节点城市中更加显著。

 

关于第二个研究，笔者通过对现有研究的梳理以及案例研究发现，在早期有国际先进技术可以引进的技术发展阶段，政府主导的政产学研体系更有利于高铁技术的迅速发展；而在技术先进阶段，政府主导的政产学研体系需要由政府主导型向市场主导型转变。此外，笔者基于以上研究认为政府主导的政产学研体系对于推动科研创新具有较好的可持续性，但该体系的推广门槛较高。该研究增加了对中国高铁研发体制改革的认知，并有助于推动类似的新兴产业快速发展。

 

最后，本研究对于政策的制定者提出了几点启示。

 

▇ ABSTRACT：

 

This article studies the impact of connecting to high-speed rail (HSR) network on regional development and the replication and sustainability of China’s GIUR system, aiming to summarize the experiences of China’s HSR, which can provide several policy references for developing countries. This article conducts two research: (1) explore the impact of connecting to HSR network on the urban industrial structure, urban creativity and urban-rural income gap of cities in different regions and cities with heterogeneous locations along the HSR lines in the long and short term; (2) explore the advantages and disadvantages of the Government-Industry-University-Research (GIUR) system in the process of introducing, absorbing and innovating technologies of HSR, as well as its adjustment in the technology-pioneering stage. 

 

 

For the first research, HSR and urban development, I conduct the empirical research and descriptive statistics based on urban development theory, and the results indicate following conclusions. Firstly, connecting to HSR network can significantly increase the proportion of tertiary industry in eastern cities of China. Secondly, it can promote the creativity of urban primary and tertiary industries, and more developed cities and non-eastern cities benefit more. In addition, it has also significantly improved the creativity of the tertiary industry in major hub cities, the better accessibility (with more HSR lines passing through) major hub cities possess, the more improvement in creativity of tertiary industry they can benefit compared to those minor node or non-node cities. Thirdly, connecting to the HSR network will only widen the urban-rural income gap in economically underdeveloped regions, and this expansion effect is more significant in economically underdeveloped minor node cities.

For the second study, combining the existing research and case study, I find that in the early stage of technological development in which international advanced technology can be brought in, the government dominated GIUR system is more conducive to promoting HSR technology accumulation and development. But in the technological pioneering stage, the system needs to transform into a market-oriented Industry-University-Research system. In addition, based on above research, I argue that the government GIUR system has a good sustainability for promoting scientific research innovation but has a high threshold when apply to other industry. This study increases people's awareness for reformation system of China’s HSR research and development (R&D) and helps to propel the rapid development of similar emerging industries.

 

Finally, I discuss the policy implications.
