城市群空间功能分工带来了资源配置效率提升吗?——基于中国城市面板数据经验研究

Does the Spatial Function Division of Urban Agglomeration Improve the Efficiency of Resource Allocation?Empirical Study Based on the Panel Data of Cities in China

加强城市间功能分工协作,提高城市群资源配置效率,对促进城市群高质量发展至关重要。基于资源配置效率视角,文章利用中国工业企业和城市面板匹配数据,考察了城市群空间功能分工对资源配置效率的影响效应及其作用机制。结果表明:城市群空间功能分工有利于提高其资源配置效率,此结论在进行一系列稳健性检验后保持不变。并且,城市群空间功能分工对资源配置效率的作用效果要受企业特征与区域特征差异的影响。进一步研究表明,城市群空间功能分工主要通过削弱"行政区划壁垒"与强化"产城融合效应"来提高其资源配置效率。该结论对构建城市间协调发展新格局、促进城市群健康有序发展具有重要意义。

To strengthen the functional division of cities and improve the resource allocation efficiency of urban agglomeration are crucial to the high-quality development of urban agglomerations. From the perspective of resource allocation,the paper investigates the impact of functional division of urban agglomerations on resource allocation efficiency and its mechanism by using the panel matching data of Chinese industrial enterprises and cities. Results show that functional division of urban agglomerations can improve the efficiency of resource allocation,which remains unchanged after a series of robustness tests. Furthermore,the effect of functional division of urban agglomerations on resource allocation efficiency will be affected by enterprises’ characteristics and regional characteristics. Further studies show that functional division of urban agglomeration improves the efficiency of resource allocation by eliminating the 'administrative division barriers'and strengthening the 'industry-city integration effect'. The conclusions provide important references for the construction of new patterns of coordinated development among cities and promote the healthy and orderly development of urban agglomerations.
