Study on the Influence of Producer Service Industry Agglomeration on the High-Quality Development of Urban Economy
As a key part of a modern economic system,producer services have played an important role in the engine of the process of high-quality economic development in China.However,the currently research literature on the impact mechanism of agglomeration of productive service industries on urban efficiency is lacking.This paper selects the panel data of 282 cities in China from 2003 to 2021,and effectively tests the influence effect and specific action mechanism of the agglomeration of producer services on the high-quality development of urban economy.The results indicate that:On the whole,the agglomeration of producer services has promoted the high-quality development of urban economy,and it is still established despite considering the problems of robustness and endogeneity.From the perspective of specific action mechanism,producer service agglomeration can promote the high-quality development of urban economy through the three paths of industrial structure upgrading,technological innovation and ecological construction,and all of them play a positive intermediary role.From the perspective of regional heterogeneity,the agglomeration of producer services can promote the high-quality urban development in the eastern,central and northeast regions,but the role in promoting the western region is not significant.
