摘　　要：自由贸易试验区建设通过制度创新,实现人才、资本等要素的自由流动,对于提升其所在城市的资源配置效率具有重要意义。本文基于2009—2018年中国290个城市的面板数据,运用倾向得分匹配法和双重差分法系统考察了自由贸易试验区建设对城市资源配置效率的影响和作用机制。研究发现,自由贸易试验区的设立总体上促进了实施片区所在城市资源配置效率的提升,在使用多种方法进行稳健性分析之后该结论仍然成立。机制分析表明,自由贸易试验区的设立能够通过吸引技能劳动力和高质量外商直接投资提升城市的资源配置效率,但它同时也会通过吸纳非技能劳动力和低质量外商直接投资降低资源配置效率。进一步的分析表明,自由贸易试验区的设立并未显著改善周边城市的资源配置效率。本文研究结论为更高效地发挥自贸区的“试验田”功能并提升城市资源配置效率提供理论依据。The construction of pilot free trade zone takes an important role in improving urban resource allocation efficiency by bringing institutional innovation and element free flow like talent and capital.Based on the methods of propensity score matching,difference-in-differences,and panel data analysis of 290 cities in China from 2009 to 2018,this paper investigates the economic effect of pilot free trade zones on urban resource allocation efficiency.Benchmark regression shows that the establishment of the zone promotes urban resource allocation efficiency on whole,then the result is verified by several robustness tests.Mechanism analysis finds that the improvement is realised through attracting skilled labors and high-quality foreign direct investment,but meanwhile,the allocation efficiency is deteriorated by the establishment through absorbing unskilled labors and low-quality foreign direct investment.Our further investigation finds that the construction of pilot free trade zone has not significantly improved the allocation efficiency in surrounding cities.The conclusions above provide a theoretical basis for this topic.
