Does land mortgage financing spur urban economic development? A fresh insight from spatial spillovers

ABSTRACT

This empirical study explores the relationship between land mortgage financing and urban economic development from the perspective of spatial spillovers. We develop a spatial Durbin model (SDM) using a dataset for 83 Chinese cities over the period 2007–2015, and find that land mortgage financing not only promotes local economic development, but also has a positive spatial spillover effect on economic development in other cities. Urban fixed assets investment plays a partial mediation role. However, compared with that of other cities, this positive spatial spillover is significantly weaker for the economic development of megacities and industrial cities.

Notes

1 The data for the dependent variable and control variables came from the “China Municipal Statistics Yearbook”.

2 Since the empirical analysis is only for 83 cities, and the simple contiguity matrices would lead to biases in spatial correlation, we set 1000 km as the standard distance.

3 The results of using other matrices are still robust to those in .
