摘要: 基于空间均衡的城市经济模型,本文考察了中国279个地级及以上城市的紧凑度对经济发展的影响。研究发现,城市的紧凑发展不仅能促进经济增长和提高工资水平,同时也可能导致房价上涨。这表明,更为紧凑的城市形状促进了经济发展并提高了要素的回报率。为了深入研究这一关系,本文还根据城市的初始条件、行政等级、人口变动趋势和地理位置等因素,进行了异质性和稳健性分析。本文进一步指出,提高城市的紧凑度是提高要素配置效率、优化城市化进程和促进经济发展的有效路径。

Abstract: Based on the spatial equilibrium urban economic model,this paper examines the effect of city shape compactness on economic development in 279 primary Chinese prefecturelevel cities The findings suggest that compact urban development not only promotes economic growth and increases wage levels but also might lead to rising housing prices This indicates that a more compact urban form fosters economic development and enhances the return rate of factors To delve deeper into this relationship,this paper also conducts heterogeneity and robustness analyses,taking into account factors such as the initial conditions of cities,administrative levels,population migration trends,and geographical location This paper further underscores that enhancing city compactness is an effective measure to improve factor allocation efficiency,optimize the urbanization process and foster economic growth

Key words: city footprint, urban spatial shape, compactness, economic development
