摘要

本文从不同角度探讨了中国城市政治等级的影响。首先，我们研究了地级市和直辖市之间的经济差距。此外，本文还借鉴了一个准实验，利用合成控制法分析了 1997 年重庆升格为直辖市的影响。在随后的 4 年中，升市政策大幅提高了重庆的国内生产总值（GDP）。最后，我们发现，与对照城市相比，该政策使重庆 1200 公里范围内的受政策影响城市的 GDP 增加了约 10%-13%。

Political hierarchy spillovers: Evidence from China

This paper explores the impact of the political hierarchies of cities in China from different perspectives. First, we examine the economic disparities between prefectural cities and municipalities. Furthermore, this paper draws upon a quasi- experiment to analyze the impact of upgrading Chongqing to a municipality in 1997 using the synthetic control method. The city-upgrading policy significantly increased Chongqing's gross domestic product (GDP) in the following 4 years. Finally, we find that the policy increased GDP in treated cities within 1200 km of Chongqing by about 10%–13% relative to the control cities.
