Study methodAuthor(s)Conclusion(s)Innovation

Panel data modelDai et al. [14]Rail transit is able to enhance the housing prices of the surrounding housesCombining hedonic model and panel data model
Tian et al. [2]The improvement in network position of HSR inhibits service industry agglomeration in peripheral regionsConstructing framework of complex network analysis and panel regression methods

DID modelAslund et al. [1]Commuter train access has little impacts on the employment developmentUsing the introduction of a local commuter train in Sweden
Tian et al. [25]HSR and service-sector agglomeration have positive correlationApplying hypothetical counterfactuals to eliminate the exogeneity problem of dependent variables
Li et al. [26]The opening of HSR has a significant threshold effect on improving the efficiency of the service industryHeterogeneity analysis of the impact of HSR on the service industry
Zhu et al. [27]The opening of HSR has a positive impact on urban land expansionAnalyzing the time lag impact of HSR
Tang et al. [28]HSR significantly promotes regional innovationInvestigating the impacts of urban form on the correlation between HSR and regional innovation

Spatial econometric modelZheng et al. [6]Urban rail transit can significantly improve urban air qualityUsing several methods to test the robustness of the regression results
Huang and Xu [29]The construction of HSR narrows the regional differences in daily accessibility, but it will expand the differences in potential accessibility and location accessibilityDivide accessibility into location accessibility, potential accessibility, and daily accessibility
