Abstract

This study investigates the impact of expressway investment in China's counties. By identifying expressway accessibility through toll station locations, we estimate the manufacturing distribution along expressways for 2001–2005. We find that expressway accessibility promotes manufacturing employment for inland counties by around 41 percent; however, for coastal counties that already have high road density and dense manufacturing layouts, the returns from new expressways are small. Furthermore, counties close to large cities benefit more from expressway accessibility than do counties that are far from them. The gap first increases in the period of expressway construction and then decreases as expressway effects are smoothed.
中国县域制造业的区位动态:高速公路投资的影响
本研究考察了高速公路投资对中国县域的影响。通过对高速公路收费站位置的可达性识别,估算了2001-2005年高速公路沿线制造业的分布。我们发现,高速公路可达性使内陆县的制造业就业增加了约41%;然而,对于道路密度已经很高、制造业布局密集的沿海县来说,新建高速公路的回报很小。此外,靠近大城市的县比远离大城市的县从高速公路可达性中受益更多。该差距在高速公路建设期间首先增大,然后随着高速公路效应的平滑而减小。
