Abstract

The paper examines the spatial club convergence hypothesis of economic growth based on 329 Chinese prefectures by using spatial econometrics model and ESDA method. The paper also compares it with provincial data, and finally explores the formation mechanism. The results show that there are more regional groups identified through prefecture ESDA analysis in terms of club characteristics of "within group convergence and between groups divergence". There are two types of spatial club convergence in prefecture economic growth. The forming mechanism can be stated that uneven spatial distributions emerge under the effects of spatial heterogeneous of economic behaviors and local geographic spatial spillovers of growth, and form two different regional groups named HH and LL. The interaction strength within groups was higher than that between groups (unified force was stronger than separation force), therefore, it induces growth aggregations within each HH and LL group. With the succession of growth and the degree of aggregations within each HH and LL group increase, the differences of economic growth between the two groups continue to expand and then form two spatial convergence clubs.

Key words： spatial club convergence; ESDA; spatial econometrics; forming mechanism; prefectural units
