基于新经济地理学工资方程,使用中国2003-2013年省级面板数据实证检验本地区公共投资和邻近地区公共投资对区域经济的影响。假设各地区劳动力的边际产出取决于公共投资和劳动力受教育程度,设定固定时间效应的空间面板数据模型进行估计。结果显示,中国各地公共投资与本地区经济呈正相关关系,但与邻近地区经济呈负相关关系,区域经济增长尚未形成技术外部性。
Based on the New Economic Geography wage equation,the paper examined the effect of both local and neighbouring public investment on regional economy by panel data of Chinese provinces from 2003 to 2013. Assuming the marginal product of labor depends on the public investment of each province and the level of educational attainment,it estimated a spatial panel model with fixed time effect. Results showed that in China,although local economy were positively associated with local public investment,there was a negative relationship between local economy and neighbouring public investment,but there was no evidence of technological externalities in regional economic growth.
