本章利用巴罗回归检验了1991 - 2004年人力资本集聚影响中国地区间收入差距的假设。本章的分析表明，首先，在1991-2004年估计期间，绝对β收敛没有得到显著测量。其次，在考虑人力资本集聚效应时，外商投资和贸易对区域经济发展影响系数的条件收敛性和估计值也很显着。这些结果表明，在人力资本水平高的劳动者集中的沿海地区，外资的生产活动和贸易都得到了促进，经济增长率提高。然而，人力资本水平高的工人外流导致经济增长率下降。结果表明，这一时期的人力资本集聚效应加剧了地区间的收入差距。
This chapter uses Barro regression to test the hypothesis that human capital agglomeration affects China‘s interregional income inequality from 1991 to 2004. The analysis in this chapter shows that, first, absolute βconvergence was not significantly measured during the 1991–2004 estimation period. Second, when the human capital agglomeration effect is considered, conditional convergence and the estimated values of the coefficients of foreign investment and trade effects on regional economic development are also significant. These results indicate that in coastal regions where workers with high levels of human capital are concentrated, both production activities and trade by foreign capital are promoted, resulting in increased economic growth rates. However, the outflow of workers with high levels of human capital resulted in lower economic growth rates. As a result, we can conclude that the period’s human capital agglomeration effect increases the income inequality between regions.
