Abstract:: Promoting new urbanization construction and building a modernized transportation system is necessary for promoting highquality growth of the regional economy. Based on the vector autoregressive model, this paper constructs the evaluation index system of new urbanization and transportation, uses the entropy method to measure the comprehensive evaluation index of new urbanization and transportation development in Shaanxi province from 2000 to 2016, and conducts the Granger causality test, impulse response function test and variance decomposition. This research believes that the new urbanization and transportation are both developing rapidly and exhibiting a trend of simultaneous development. There is a oneway Granger causal relationship between new urbanization and transportation. Transportation is the Granger’s cause of promotion of new urbanization, and it can effectively promote the development of the latter in the short term. Impulse response test and variance decomposition show that transportation has obvious shortterm positive promotion effect on new urbanization, while the latter has a longterm positive promotion effect on the former.
