摘　　要：强化府际合作、改善资本在城市间的错配是区域经济一体化的重要抓手。可引入网络嵌入理论,从关系嵌入和结构嵌入两个维度,系统评估府际合作的网络嵌入对城市资本错配的影响。研究结果表明:第一,城市在合作网络中的关系嵌入能改善城市资本错配、提高资本配置效率,但随着结构嵌入水平提升,关系嵌入对资本错配的改善作用趋于弱化。第二,结构嵌入水平的提高没有带来更高的产业结构合理化水平,制约城市资本配置效率的持续提升。上述发现为构建更高效公平、可持续的府际合作机制提供了理论支持和经验证据。Motivated by the traditional path of“competition for growth”,local governments in pursuit of maximizing economic benefits within their jurisdictions usually employ competitive strategies.These strategies,such as local protectionism and market segmentation,impede the flow of capital and other production factors across administrative borders,resulting in capital misallocation and hindering the profound progress of regional economic integration.Therefore,inter-governmental cooperation emerges as a critical catalyst for advancing regional economic integration by facilitating efficient and equitable resource allocation among cities.Despite its significance,empirical research on how inter-governmental cooperation can improve capital misallocation remains sparse.The prevailing discourse on inter-governmental cooperation tends to focus on the existence or number of“relationships”,with little consensus on definitive conclusions.To fill this research gap,this paper introduces the theoretical framework of network embeddedness,examining the effects of inter-governmental cooperation on capital misallocation from two dimensions of network embeddedness:relational embeddedness and structural embeddedness.Relational embeddedness captures the number of cooperative relationships a city involves within the network,while structural embeddedness reflects the city’s network position.Utilizing cooperation news spanning from 2009 to 2020,this paper constructs an inter-governmental cooperative network encompassing 27 central cities in the Yangtze River Delta(YRD),which is one of the most dynamic and integrated regions in China.Employing social network analysis metrics,relative degree centrality and eigenvector centrality,this paper gauges the levels of relational embeddedness and structural embeddedness of cities in the inter-governmental cooperative network.Subsequently,a panel threshold model is formulated to explore the nonlinear relationship between these forms of embeddedness and urban capital misallocation.The main finding
