摘要: 建设全国统一大市场是构建新发展格局的基础支撑和内在要求,深化地方政府合作是破除地方保护与市场分割的重要手段。本文以一系列区域一体化发展规划文件的发布为准自然实验,构建渐进双重差分模型,分析区域一体化背景下资本跨地区流动的影响、机制及带来的经济后果。研究发现,区域一体化显著提升了企业区域内异地并购的概率、数量占比及金额占比。机制分析发现,在区域一体化背景下,地方官员的政治晋升概率受到区域整体经济发展及区域内其他城市经济发展的正向影响;并且,当地方政府合作意愿较低时,区域一体化对企业区域内异地并购行为的促进作用更为显著。这些结果说明,区域一体化能够通过强化地方政府合作来促进资本跨地区流动。经济后果显示,区域一体化背景下的区域内异地并购行为有助于区域内城市经济的发展。本文不仅拓展了区域一体化和资本跨地区流动的研究范畴,还为深化地方政府合作、加快建设全国统一大市场等提供了启示。

Abstract: Building a national unified market is the fundamental support and inherent requirement for constructing a new development pattern. Deepening local governments cooperation is an important means to break down local protectionism and market fragmentation. Taking the release of a series of regional integration development planning documents as a quasi-natural experiment, this study constructs a progressive difference-in-differences model to explore the impact of regional integration on capital cross-city flows as well as the underlying mechanism and economic consequences. The results show that regional integration significantly increases the probability, quantity proportion, and amount proportion of firms' cross-city M&As in the same region (referred to as intra-regional cross-city M&As). Mechanism analysis finds that after the enactment of regional integration policy, the political promotion probability of local officials is positively affected by the overall regional economic development and the economic development of other cities in the region. Moreover, the promoting effect of regional integration on firms' intra-regional cross-city M&As is stronger when local governments have a lower willingness to cooperate, indicating that strengthening local government cooperation is an important mechanism for regional integration to promote the flow of capital across cities. Economic consequence research shows that firms' intra-regional cross-city M&As in the context of regional integration can promote the economic development of the cities in the same region. In theory, this study expands the research on the economic consequences of China's regional integration and the influencing factors of capital cross-city flows. In practice, this study provides some empirical evidence and policy references for accelerating the construction of a national unified market and promoting common prosperity.
