Abstract: Chapter 7 investigates the impacts of HSR on domestic air transportation in China using a new modeling framework which captures both the demand and the supply responses. The assessment was conducted using an improved panel regression model by taking into account the detailed opening schedules of various HSR services during the period 2001–14. The research findings reveal that the HSR services deployed have a significant substitutional effect on domestic air transportation in China, but the effect varies across different HSR routes, travel distance and city type. The impacts are found to be much stronger among those air routes that connect major hubs within a distance range of 500 to 800 km.
