Abstract

This paper investigates the impact of high-speed rail (HSR) network improvement on the consumption synergy of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region by using the panel data of 13 prefectural-level cities from 2006 to 2021. The results show that: (1) The improvement of the HSR network in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region has a significant positive impact on raising overall regional consumption levels. (2) The HSR network improvement has a heterogeneous impact on consumption in different cities within the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. (3) The promotional effect on peripheral cities is greater than on central cities, thereby promoting the coordinated consumption development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region. The findings of this study have important policy implications, confirming that the construction of the HSR network can narrow the consumption gap within the region and promote consumption synergy across the region.
