The results show that the transport superiority degree of designated poor counties in Fujian province is at an overall disadvantage, and the transport superiority degree of most povertystricken counties is inferior than the provincial average.The effect of transport superiority degree of povertystricken counties in Fujian province on economic growth is very slight and insignificant.The growth of fixed asset investment and total population are beneficial to the economic growth, and the influence of degree of topographic relief is small, with changing from negative significance to insignificance.
