Abstract—In this study, the author aims to investigate the inner law between high-speed railway (HSR) and economic development. Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, as a case is simulated to find out how these relationships could be established, and the system dynamic is used to build a system model. The case results have revealed that the HSR has a strong influence on the development of the tertiary industry because of its passenger characteristics, and it has an overall positive effect on the GDP, especially secondary and tertiary industries. It has greatly contributed to the movement of the employed population from traditional agriculture to manufacturing and services industry. The findings of this study could not only serve as a reference for HSR planning, but also could guide employees moving to the more reasonable areas related to skill, knowledge and other information, which would subsequently improve urban economic.
Index Terms—High-speed railway, economic, industry, employee.
