It is not only the important driving force of the economic growth, but also is a force influencing the development of the retail business and the changes of the structures of the economy.展开更多

As a new field in research on the club convergence of regional economic growth, spatial club convergence works on a mechanism whereby spatial spillovers drive the localized growth of the regional economy, leading to spatial club convergence. Using a theoretical model of regional economic growth that includes spatial spillovers, this study shows that these spillovers can lead to spatial club convergence. Our empirical analysis of regional economic growth in the Yangtze River Delta in 1990-2007 also shows that spatial spillovers can affect regional economic growth, and that spatial club convergence does exist. When the spatial spillover factor is taken into account, the speed of spatial club convergence in the Yangtze River Delta is 1.57 percent.展开更多
