Abstract

The allocation of transportation resources with fairness and efficiency is of great significance for the coordinated and efficient development of China's regional economy. This paper proposes an empirical analysis framework that takes into account the fairness and efficiency of traffic resources allocation, and takes China's highway resources as an example. Based on the data of 31 provincial-level administrative regions in China from 2003 to 2016, the total mileage of highways is used to measure the fairness of the allocation of highway resources in each province. The ratio of highway freight volume to highway mileage and the ratio of cargo turnover to highway mileage are used to measure the efficiency of the allocation of highway resources in each province. Firstly, the Markov chain model is used to investigate and compare the degree of Matthew effect of fairness and efficiency, and to analyze the problems existing in the equilibrium allocation of equity and efficiency. On the basis of this, a two-dimensional matrix is constructed to study the implementation path of coordinated development. According to this study, we can find that the Matthew effect of highway resources is more serious, and the fairness problem of China's highway resource allocation is more serious. The decision makers should focus on supporting those provinces with high efficiency but low fairness, increase the investment, and make China's highway resources have fair and effective configuration.
