Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study clarifies the economic effects of high-speed transportation networks in the regional economy in Japan. To form a "super megaregion," which is the goal of the National Land Plan in Japan, we must consider desirable regional policies that achieve regional sustainable development goals. The development of a high-quality transportation network is expected to strengthen inter-regional networks and increase passenger travel. This study quantitatively clarified the extent to which inter-regional transportation networks affect the region's productivity and environmental efficiency by using a market access index that measures inter-regional networks' strength. Furthermore, based on the plentiful of the empirical results, this study provides desirable regional economic policies in Japan that contribute to regional sustainability.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

【学術的意義】本研究は,これまで都市に限定されていた集積の経済が都市地域を超えて広範囲に及ぶ現象を,「借用規模の効果」として実証的に明らかにしている。さらに,近年観察される地域間の生産性格差縮小について,地域間ネットワーク形成の観点から,その実証的証拠を提示している。
【社会的意義】本研究は,国土形成計画におけるリニア中央新幹線を活用したスーパー・メガリージョン形成に対し,経済学の視点からその政策の妥当性に対する実証的証拠を提供している。
