    原文标题：高铁发展与城乡居民收入差距：来自中国城市的证据

    摘要:本文以2007-2014年中国275个城市为研究对象，借助高铁经停车次频率数据，考察了高铁发展对城乡收入差距的影响。结果显示，高铁发展总体上有利于中国城乡收入差距的缩小。高铁对不同类型城市的影响存在着明显的异质性特征，高铁的积极作用更偏向于中东部地区的城市、人口规模大的城市以及与大城市时空距离近的城市。此外，高铁速度快慢并没有对城乡收入差距的影响带来较大的差异，但始发列车和非始发列车的表现却截然不同。本文还构建了地理和历史工具变量以克服高铁的内生性问题，工具变量估计结果支持了高铁与中国城乡收入差距缩小存在因果关系的结论。进一步研究还发现，人口流动和资本流动是高铁发展促进中国城乡收入差距缩小的重要机制。

    Abstract: This paper takes 275 cities of China from 2007 to 2014 as the object of study and explores the impact of HSR（High Speed Railway） development on urban-rural income inequality of Chinese cities with the HSR frequency data. The results show that the developments of HSR are conducive to narrowing the income inequality between urban and rural areas and the impact is heterogeneity among cities. The positive role of HSR is more biased in favor of the cites from eastern provinces, the large population size cites as well as the cities near the large cities. In addition, the speed of HSR does not have different impact on the urban-rural income inequality. But the performance between the origin train and the non-origin train is very different. The IV estimations support the conclusion above. Further study found that the population flow and capital flow are an important mechanism to promote the development of HSR to reduce the income inequality between urban and rural areas in China.
