Abstract

This study examines the effect of new subway openings on employee compensation. Using data from China's A-share listed companies, we find that a new subway opening significantly improves employee compensation. We identify two primary reasons for this positive effect: increasing in total factor productivity and improving in labor market competition. Our study also indicates that new subway openings promote the economic advancement of the region.
