The Siphon effects of transportation infrastructure on internal migration: evidence from China’s HSR network

Abstract

This paper examines the impact of China’s High-Speed-Railway on internal migration. By exploiting the yearly variation in the city-pair connection, difference-in-differences estimation shows that HSR connection significantly promotes intercity migration. Furthermore, large cities have a huge siphon effect on small cities in terms of internal immigration after the HSR connection.
