Study on the impact of China's urban agglomerations' tiered spatial structure on regional economic resilience.

ABSTRACT: Urban agglomerations serve as crucial spatial carriers of economic development, and their spatial structure profoundly influences regional economic resilience. This study draws on Martin's conceptualization of economic resilience and, considering the administrative hierarchy and development stage of China's urban system, examines the impact of the layered spatial structure of urban agglomerations on regional economic resilience. Based on data from 17 Chinese urban agglomerations from 2005 to 2019, this research employs a one-step system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) model to empirically analyze the effects of three mechanisms - polycentricity within urban agglomerations, inter-city development disparities, and inter-city industrial gradients - on regional economic resilience.
