Does the concentration of industrial specialization improve the level of urban innovation in the central region?
As the Chinese economy enters a stage of high-quality development,innovation has become a key lever to ensure stable economic growth.Meanwhile,resource elements are the fundamental conditions for human activities and play an important role in industrial specialization and urban innovation.Based on this,this article selects 14 years of data from 80 prefecture level cities in central provinces from 2006 to 2019 from the perspective of distorted factor allocation,aims to study the relationship between industrial specialization agglomeration and the innovation level of cities in the central region,reveal the channels and mechanisms of the impact of industrial specialization ag-glomeration on the innovation level of cities in the central region,explore the mechanisms of factor allocation distor-tion and technology talent agglomeration on the impact of industrial specialization agglomeration on the innovation level of cities in the central region,and form a new understanding of industrial specialization agglomeration and ur-ban innovation level.
