摘要

本文研究了交通基础设施对大量发展中国家次国家级区域内经济活动空间分布的因果效应。为此，我们引入了一个新的全球数据集，其中包含2000年至2014年中国赠款和贷款资助的地理定位发展项目，并将其与基于遥感数据的空间集中度测量相结合。我们发现，以空间基尼系数衡量，中国资助的交通项目使区域内的经济活动分散了2.2个百分点。在欠发达、城市化程度较高、靠近城市的地区，这种治疗效果尤其明显。

Connective financing: Chinese infrastructure projects and the diffusion of economic activity in developing countries

This paper studies the causal effect of transport infrastructure on the spatial distribution of economic activity within subnational regions across a large number of developing countries. To do so, we introduce a new global dataset of geolocated Chinese grant- and loan-financed development projects from 2000 to 2014 and combine it with measures of spatial concentration based on remotely sensed data. We find that Chinese-financed transportation projects decentralize economic activity within regions, as measured by a spatial Gini coefficient, by 2.2 percentage points. The treatment effects are particularly strong in regions that are less developed, more urbanized, and located closer to cities.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Urban Economics provides a focal point for the publication of research papers in the rapidly expanding field of urban economics. It publishes papers of great scholarly merit on a wide range of topics and employing a wide range of approaches to urban economics. The Journal welcomes papers that are theoretical or empirical, positive or normative. Although the Journal is not intended to be multidisciplinary, papers by noneconomists are welcome if they are of interest to economists. Brief Notes are also published if they lie within the purview of the Journal and if they contain new information, comment on published work, or new theoretical suggestions.
