交通运输是影响区域经济格局平衡的重要因素。高铁建设增强了城乡之间人口、资金、技术、信息资源的流动。是否会进一步影响城乡收入差距？基于非线性时变因素模型，从高铁角度分析城乡收入差距的收敛性。在拒绝传统四大经济区域整体趋同的假设后，发现城乡收入差距的三个趋同俱乐部。对于这些有序logit回归模型被用来探索可能影响“趋同俱乐部”形成的初始因素。实证结果表明，高铁建设有效缩小了我国城乡收入差距，但并不是三个趋同俱乐部形成的原因。高铁对我国城乡收入差距的收敛作用还比较弱。
Transportation is an important factor affecting the balance of regional economic pattern. The construction of high-speed railway enhances the mobility of population, capital, technology and information resources between urban and rural areas. Will it further affect the income gap between urban and rural areas? Based on the nonlinear time-varying factor model, this paper analyzes the convergence of urban-rural income gap with the angle of high-speed railway. After rejecting the assumption of overall convergence in the traditional four economic regions, three convergence clubs of urban-rural income gap were found. For these ordered logit regression model is used to explore the initial factors that may affect the formation of "convergence club". Empirical results show that the construction of High-speed railway has effectively narrows the urban-rural income gap in China, but it is not the cause of the formation of the three convergence clubs. The convergence effect of High-speed railway on the urban-rural income gap in China is still relatively weak.
