Urbanization, Population Concentration and Human Captial Spillovers Under China's Rapid Process of Urbanization
利用1990-2009年数据，研究发现中国城市化对人力资本溢出有显著正向影响，地级市劳动力集聚的创新溢出强于县级市，而人口、产业与土地的不协调城市化不利于收入层面的溢出。
City is one important entity of agglomeration, population and industry concentrated in urban areas should generate spill-over effects of human capital. By using data from 1990-2009, the paper found that China's urbanization had a strong positive effect on human capital spillovers which were measured by regional innovation capability and income levels. From the perspective of innovation capability, the spillover effects of labor force concentrated in prefecture-level cities is greater than that in county-level cities; from the perspective of income levels, uncoordinated urbanization process of population, industry and land is not conducive to the spill-over effects.Focus on the role of the prefecture-level city in the regional innovation capability, enhancing the integration degree of the old and new city districts in the process of urban construction, and improving the quality of urbanization, should be given a lot of attention in the regional and urban economic development in China.
