Coordinated Regional Development,Total Factor Productivity,and the Difference Between Urban Center and Periphery:A Case of the Chengdu-Chongqing Coordinated Development
Difference in differences method is introduced into the stochastic frontier analysis model,and the balanced panel data of 285 prefecture-level cities in China are used to accurately evaluate the policy effects of the Chengdu-Chongqing E-conomic Zone policy on urban TFP,and mechanisms are also tested.At the same time,the center-periphery difference of the policy effects is empirically analyzed.The main conclusions are as follows:(1)The Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone policy has significantly promoted the improvement of urban TFP.(2)Enterprise agglomeration,urban innovation,and industrial innovation are channels through which the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone policy promotes TFP.(3)Al-though the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone policy has significantly promoted TFP in both the central and peripheral cities,it has had a greater impact on the central cities.(4)The Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Zone policy narrows the center-periphery difference of policy effects through its influences on the industrial structure and enterprise agglomeration,while expanding the difference through its impact on innovation.
