Abstract

With the deepening and refinement of industrial division of labor, the agglomeration of productive service industries with the characteristics of high degree of specialization, knowledge-intensiveness, wide service area and high comparative benefits has become an important driving force. Based on the panel data of 271 prefecture-level cities in China from 2006 to 2020, this research uses a two-step mediation effect analysis based on the heterogeneity of industry, region and city levels to empirically research the impact and specific mechanism of the agglomeration of productive service industries on the green and high-quality development of cities represented by the Green Total Factor Productivity (GTFP) index. The research are: (1) Agglomeration of producer services has a significant positive effect on the improvement of urban GTFP in general; (2) Agglomeration of producer services achieves the improvement of urban GTFP through two paths, promoting green technology innovation and promoting the rationalization of industrial structure; (3) Promotion effect has obvious differences in different producer service industries, regional locations and city levels: high-end producer services are significant, but not in the middle and low end; the central and western regions and non-provincial capital cities are significant, but not in the eastern region and provincial capital cities. And relevant policy recommendations are put forward for the agglomeration of producer services to better promote the green and high-quality development.
