Abstract: Despite decades of research, the belief that more mobility universally combats social exclusion has rarely been questioned. Challenging this orthodoxy, our study uses a robust, nation-wide survey of 5591 Chinese residents and cutting-edge machine learning technique, double/debiased machine learning, to unravel the nuanced impacts of travel purposes on social exclusion.
