摘要
文章以中欧班列开通为准自然实验,利用2000—2020年中国285个地级及以上城市面板数据,采用多时点双重差分法探讨中欧班列开通对中国城市经济差距的影响。研究发现:中欧班列开通显著促进了中国经济欠发达城市向经济相对发达城市的经济趋同;中欧班列开通通过促进城市对外经贸发展、提升城市创新创业活力、优化城市产业结构等机制推动城市经济均衡发展。进一步的异质性检验发现,中欧班列开通显著加速了城市间第三产业的发展趋同,对开通城市批发和零售业等产业新增企业数量有显著促进作用。因此,以中欧班列开通为代表的向西国际运输通道建设对中国区域经济均衡发展具有显著影响,对构建“双循环”发展格局,促进区域协调发展,实现共同富裕具有一定现实意义。
Taking the operation of China⁃Europe Railway Express(CRE)as a quasi⁃natural experiment,this study uses panel data from 285 prefecture⁃level and above cities in China from 2000 to 2020,and a multi⁃period difference⁃in⁃differences(DID)approach is employed to examine CRE impact on urban economic disparities in China.The findings reveal that the CRE operation significantly promotes economic convergence between less developed and relatively more developed cities in China,and the CRE facilitates balanced urban economic development through mechanisms such as enhancing foreign trade and economic cooperation,boosting urban innovation and entrepreneurial vitality,and optimizing industrial structures.Further heterogeneity analysis indicates that the CRE significantly accelerates convergence in the tertiary sector among cities and notably increases the number of newly established enterprises in industries such as wholesale and retail in the cities it serves.Therefore,the development of westward international logistics corridors,represented by the CRE operation,has a significant impact on promoting balanced regional economic growth in China.It holds practical implications for fostering a"dual⁃circulation"development paradigm,advancing coordinated regional development,and achieving common prosperity.
