国家级城市群发展规划对省界毗邻县经济发展的影响研究
Impact of National-level Urban Cluster Development Plan on the Economic Growth of Counties Adjacent to Provincial Borders
摘要
Abstract
In the context of coordinating regional development and constructing a new pattern of regional development,how to crack the problem of economic growth in areas adjacent to provincial borders is a key task for the in-depth implementation of the national strategy for coordinated regional development. This paper takes the implementation of the national-level urban cluster development plan(the Plan for short)as a policy shock,and treats counties adjacent to provincial borders included in the Plan and those not included as the treatment and control groups,respectively.Based on the nighttime light data at the county level and macro data,it adopts a multi-period difference-in-differences model to assess whether the Plan promotes the economic growth of the counties adjacent to provincial borders and to explore the underlying mechanism.The results confirm the promotion effect and still hold after a series of robustness tests.The mechanism analysis shows that although the Plan weakens the market potential of counties adjacent to provincial borders,it strengthens the economic links and optimizes the industrial division of labor between these counties and other areas within the clusters.The heterogeneity test shows that the current Plan,even if it does not promote the economic growth of counties adjacent to provincial borders in the western region,is still beneficial to those adjacent to economically underdeveloped provincial borders.Given that most of the western region is still economically backward,the inclusion in the Plan is still an effective way for economic development.In addition,the Plan can significantly contribute to the economic development of counties bordering two provincial-level regions,but has little impact on the economic development of those bordering three or more provincial-level regions. This paper provides evidence that the construction of urban clusters is conducive to the economic growth of areas adjacent to provincial borders and analyzes the channels.It also points out the negative impacts of the Plan on the development of areas adjacent to provincial borders and provides a reference for the rational integration of these areas into urban clusters.At this point,it is necessary to guide local governments in establishing a mechanism for compensation and sharing of benefits.The central region needs to transmit benefits to the peripheral regions to make up for the damage to the interests of the peripheral regions.In addition,it is necessary to further establish and improve the governmental coordination mechanism within the urban clusters,and jointly promote comprehensive,coordinated,and sustainable development to realize a new pattern of coordinated development in the clusters.关键词
