摘要：
Based on the urban panel data from 2004 to 2017 of the three urban agglomerations, that is Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, this paper measures the regional differences and the sources of differences of economic development for three major urban agglomerations in China using Dagum Gini coefficient and the method of decomposition by subgroup, and tests the convergence of economic development of three major urban agglomerations using a spatial panel regression model. The results indicate that the overall difference of economic development in China's three major urban agglomerations shows an oscillatory downward trend, and the Pearl River Delta has the largest intra-agglomeration difference, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei has the smallest intra-agglomeration difference, while the Pearl River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei have the largest inter-agglomeration difference, and inter-agglomeration difference is the main source of regional difference of economic development in three major urban agglomerations, followed by intra-agglomeration difference. Furthermore, the economic development of the three major urban agglomerations appears the phenomenon of spatial agglomeration under the influence of spatial factors, and all of them have the absolute β-convergence trend. When relevant control variables are added, the economic development of each urban agglomeration also has the characteristic of conditional β-convergence. © 2021, Editorial Board of Journal of Systems Engineering Society of China.
