ABSTRACT

First, using the 2006-2016 national provincial panel data, the principal component analysis method is used to construct the new urbanization indicator system based on the three dimensions of population new urbanization, industrial new urbanization and spatial new urbanization. Then the impact of new urbanization on the upgrading of industrial structure is empirically examined using a double fixed effects model. Empirical results show that new urbanization has a significant upgrading effect on the industrial structure.
