An Empirical Study on the Coupling Relationship Between Cultural Industry and Transportation Industry

Nowadays, the development of the cultural industry and the transportation industry has become important industries that drive the national economy. The cultural industry is expected to become a pillar industry, and China's transportation industry is in a leading position in the world. What kind of relationship exists between these two industries, which is worth studying. This paper makes use of the panel data of 30 provinces in 2007-2016, such as freight volume, passenger traffic, and fixed assets of cultural industry. The freight volume and passenger traffic represent the development of the transportation industry, and the fixed investment of cultural industry represents the development of the cultural industry. The corresponding model was established and the unit root test, cointegration test and Granger causality test were carried out. The empirical results show that the coupling relationship between the two industry is not significant. The transportation industry has obvious influence on the cultural industry, but the impact of the cultural industry on the transportation industry is not significant.
