摘要
辖区合并能否带来更快的经济增长?本文基于2000年上海市黄浦区与南市区合并的案例,运用双重差分法,对辖区合并的经济增长绩效进行了评估,发现该项合并有效地推动了经济增长。本文认为,随着我国城市化发展进程的快速推进,在经济集聚的内在动力下,推动经济增长的机制将由以往严重依赖于地方政府之间的竞争效应到依靠规模经济效应与竞争效应并重的转变,有选择地进行辖区合并是顺应这种趋势的一种可行方案。
Can jurisdiction consolidation promote economic growth performance？ Based on the review of literatures on economic growth effects of jurisdiction consolidation, the consolidation of Huangpu and Nanshi district in Shanghai in 2000 is selected as a case. By employing the method of DID （difference in difference）, its impact on economic growth is assessed and then a considerable effect is found out. With the speeding process of urbanization and the inner motive of economic agglomeration in China, there may be a transformation of economic growth mechanism from heavily depending on the competition effect between local governments to scale effect be equal to competition effect, jurisdiction consolidation is a practicable program to accommodate this transformation.
