摘　　要：与西方国家由市场主导演进的城市化不同,中国的城市化带有政府主导和“跨越式”的特征。本文以中国工业企业数据为样本,实证检验了“撤县设区”这一政府推动型城市化对企业创新的影响。研究发现,撤县设区对企业的创新活动具有正向的促进效应;机制检验表明,撤县设区通过提升域内经济的“集聚效应”和资源的优化配置渠道促进企业的创新活动;并且这种促进效应在非国有企业、高外部融资依赖度行业和东部地区的改革样本中更为明显。Different from the market-led and slow urbanization in Western countries, China’s urbanization has the characteristics of being government-led and “leapfrogging”. Our research uses the data of Chinese industrial enterprises as a sample to empirically test the impact of the government-driven urbanization of “City-County Merger” on enterprise innovation. We find that the “City-County Merger” has a positive effect on the innovation activities of enterprises. The mechanism test shows that the City-County Merger promotes the innovation activities of enterprises by enhancing the “agglomeration effect” of the regional economy and optimizing the allocation of resources. We also find this promotion effect is more obvious in the samples of non-state-owned enterprises, industries with high external financing dependence and the eastern region.
