Abstract

The study measures the current status of green development performance from the dimension of "level-efficiency-welfare",and investigates the impact and mechanism of manufacturing agglomeration on green development performance from the theoretical and empirical aspects. The results suggest it has a significant inverted "U-shaped" relationship between manufacturing agglomeration and green development performance,the conclusion is still robust after the robustness tests. Green development performance shows a typical "snowball" effect in time,and an obvious spillover effect in space. According to the heterogeneity analysis,the influence of manufacturing agglomeration on green development performance shows significant structural differences under the constraints of agglomeration mode,regional difference,and development stage. The results of the mechanism analysis show that manufacturing agglomeration can significantly influence green development performance through labor pool effect,intermediate input sharing effect and knowledge spillover effect. When the values of the three mechanisms are all lower than the threshold values,manufacturing agglomeration is conducive to improving green development performance. However,once the threshold values are crossed,the influence will change from promoting to inhibiting.
