Abstract: Using the panel data for China’s 30 provinces from 2008 to 2016, this paper analyzes the impact of producer services agglomeration on green economic efficiency at its spillover effects, through spatial autocorrelation test and the establishment of spatial econometric models. It comes to the results as follows: First, China’s regional green economic efficiency is significant positive spatial dependence. Second, the producer services specialized agglomeration not only inhibits the green economic efficiency of one region but also has significantly negative spatial spillover effects on adjacent areas, while the producer services diversified agglomeration only enhance the green economic efficiency in the region. Third, the impact of the agglomeration mode selection of producer services industry on green economic efficiency in the eastern region is basically consistent with the empirical analysis at the national level, while the green economic efficiency improvement in the central region only benefits from producer services specialized agglomeration, and the green economic efficiency in the western region is not significantly affected by the producer services agglomeration mode selection.
Keywords: Production services agglomeration, green economic efficiency, spatial Durbin model, spillover effects
