Abstract:Existing studies on high-speed railway (HSR) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have focused on analyzing their net effect, paying less attention to HSR’s impact mechanism on CO2 emissions. This paper investigates the influence and underlying mechanism of HSR on CO2 emissions. We apply a time-varying difference-in-differences approach to panel data from 283 cities in China between 2003 and 2016 to analyze HSR’s carbon-mitigation effects. A causal three-path mediation model and bootstrap method are utilized to … Show more
