Abstract

This paper examines the pattern of rail transport development and economic development in the central and western regions of China during the period 1999–2020. The extent and mechanism of the impact of rail transport on economic development are analysed by measuring the relative carrying capacity and OLS models. It was found that there is a certain surplus of rail transport infrastructure carrying capacity, but the supply and demand matching degree differs significantly between the central and western regions; rail transport infrastructure has a good positive propulsive effect on economic growth, but the impact factor is smaller in the western region than in the central region; there is a two-way interactive causal relationship between rail transport infrastructure and economic development in regions with good economic development, while in less developed regions, the existing rail transportation will lead the growth of the regional economy in a certain period in the future.
