We investigate whether localities gain or lose employment when there are connected to a transportation network, such as a high-speed railway line. We argue that long-haul economies—implying that the marginal transportation cost decreases with network distance—play a pivotal role in understanding the location choices of firms. We develop a new spatial model to show that improvements in transportation infrastructure have nontrivial impacts on the location choices of firms. Using data on Japan’s Shinkansen, we show that ‘in-between’ municipalities that are connected to the Shinkansen witness a sizable decrease in employment.

连接还是不连接?长途经济的作用

我们调查了在连接到交通网络(例如高速铁路线)时,当地是否会获得或失去就业机会。我们认为,长途经济——意味着边际运输成本随着网络距离的增加而降低——在理解公司的位置选择方面发挥着关键作用。我们开发了一个新的空间模型,以表明交通基础设施的改进对公司的选址产生了重大影响。我们使用日本新干线的数据显示,与新干线相连的“中间”城市的就业人数大幅下降。
