Financial agglomeration in China boosts regional economic growth through spatial spillover.
The article examines how the concentration of banks, securities, and insurance companies in different regions of China affects economic growth. By analyzing data from 2006-2015, the researchers found that areas with a high concentration of financial institutions have a significant impact on their own economy as well as neighboring regions. This spillover effect varies between eastern, central, and western regions of China. The study suggests different strategies for developing the financial industry in each region to support economic growth.
