Abstract

The high-speed railway station has a wider influence area than the commuter railway station and is believed to impact the municipalities around it significantly. The municipalities where high-speed railway stations will be constructed might be affected similarly. It is still unclear how the size of the station`s influence area affects the population of municipalities. We examine a method using a propensity score to show the effect of high-speed railway development quantitatively. Thus, we can statistically infer the causal effect of high-speed railway development while considering the influence of commuter railway lines and highways. We matched 1126 municipalities all over Japan using propensity scores and quantitatively analyzed the effect of opening Shinkansen stations using Difference-in-Differences analysis. As a result, we find that the Shinkansen station generally positively affects population changes.
