| Abstract | The government resident relocation has a significant impact on the regional economic development, but there is no literature to analysis this. Based on 2000-2013 large and medium urban resident relocation consent time and actual completion time data, using DID method to test whether the relocation can bring industrial upgrading, we find that, contrast to actual completion, the consent document can effectively promote industrial upgrading, limit the development of the secondary industry; in turn enhance the development of tertiary industry, the impact on the release of residential investment still significant. Further study found that, unlike existing research, the consent document does not exist regional, the longer the moving distance, the greater the lifting capacity, the actual completion for the tertiary industry is more consistent, but the second industry exist some regional differences, significantly inhibited the western region, eastern weakest. This study provided a new management idea for the government resident relocation governance. |
