Abstract

Based on the panel data of 41 major cities along the Yangtze River Economic Belt in China from 2004 to 2018, this paper uses the GMM estimation method to empirically analyze the impact of population urbanization and industrial structure changes in the Yangtze River Economic Belt on regional economic growth.The study found that the impact of population urbanization, advanced industrial structure and industrial structure rationalization on regional economic growth is significantly positive, but the impact of population urbanization and advanced industrial structure on regional economic growth is far greater than that of industrial structure rationalization.
