Highways, railways and entrepreneurship in peripheral cities: evidence from China

Sažetak
Peripheral cities are more susceptible to transportation infrastructure
than core cities in terms of entrepreneurial activities. We use
market access approach to estimate the impacts of highways and
high-speed railways on entrepreneurship in the small and
medium-sized cities in China under knowledge spillover entrepreneurship
framework. The results show that the increased market
potential caused by highways and high-speed railways significantly
improves the entrepreneurial performance of peripheral cities. The
entrepreneurship effects of highways are stronger than high-speed
railways, especially for these cities that are relatively closer to core
cities. On the contrary, the entrepreneurship effects of high-speed
railways are stronger in these cities that are far from core cities.
This study suggests that transportation infrastructure plays an
important role in entrepreneurship, and there is a complementary
effect between highways and high-speed railways.
