摘要


尽管市场导向的改革已经进行了三十多年，但中国政府的行政能力依然强大，对经济发展产生了重大影响。基于2005年到2019年跨区县面板数据，本研究深入探讨了政府行政总部迁移到受赠县的经济影响。我们采用了事件研究分析和双重差分法进行分析，结果显示，行政总部迁移对受赠县的经济增长产生了显著的积极影响。这一点通过夜间灯光指数平均增加了2.236得到了证实，对经济增长的贡献度占县级样本平均数的8.5%。值得注意的是，我们发现行政总部的离开对迁出县的经济增长并没有显著影响，因此，行政总部迁移的总体增长效应是显著为正的。

Abstract

Despite more than three decades of market-oriented reforms, the Chinese government’s administrative capacity remains potent, exerting a substantial influence on economic development. This study delved into the economic ramifications of relocating government administrative headquarters to recipient counties, employing data from Chinese prefecture-level cities spanning from 2005 to 2019. We utilized event study analysis and the difference-in-difference method to conduct our analysis. Our results unveiled a significantly positive impact of administrative headquarters relocation on economic growth in the recipient counties. This was substantiated by an average increase of 2.236 in the nighttime light index, constituting 8.5 % of the sample mean for these counties. Notably, we found that the departure of administrative headquarters had no significant effect on the economic growth of the original counties. Therefore, the overall effect of administrative headquarters relocation was positive.
