中文摘要：

This paper is the first to use a non-parameter additive model in the empirical analysis of the impact of cross-regional laborflow on industrialization and economic growth in China’s eastern,central and western regions.Results indicate that laborflow has significantly different effects on the direction and intensity of impact on economic development across regions:massive labor inflow from the central and western regions to the eastern region significantly promoted the industrializationprocess and economic growth in the East,while the impact of labor outflow from the central and western regions on theregional economies is in a significantly inverted-U shaped non-linear relationship.Uneven labor flow across regions haswidened China’s regional economic disparities.
