Urbanization, Economic Agglomeration and Economic Growth
Are Chinese cities too agglomerated, and are production factors continuing to flow to cities? Based on the panel data of 31 provinces and cities from 2006 to 2019,it is generally believed that urbanization has a positive role in promoting economic growth. This paper adds economic agglomeration factors and uses a spatial econometric model to test the spillover effect of urbanization growth. The main conclusions are as follows: First, urbanization and economic agglomeration have a positive effect on economic growth, and there is a spatial spillover effect. Second, the promoting effect of urbanization on economic growth increases with the growth of economic agglomeration, and economic agglomeration can further release the promoting effect of urbanization on economic growth. Third, compared with the central and western regions, economic agglomeration in the eastern region has a significant positive effect on urbanization and economic growth
