摘要：
This paper investigates the impact of high-speed railway (HSR) on rural poverty alleviation in China. Using a large sample of Chinese prefecture-level cities for the 2003-2013 period, we provide evidence that HSR has a positive effect on rural poverty alleviation. This finding is robust to a battery of robustness tests. In addition, we find that HSR can reduce rural poverty by improving employment rates in the manufacturing and construction industries. Our study suggests that HSR can play an important role in rural poverty alleviation.
